-
Pursue a life of peace and wholeness, inviting others in our journey to walk in meaningful relationship with Creator, community, other ethnic groups, and creation - in the Spirit of Jesus.
- To assist indigenous peoples to live in a good way with their Creator, family and others that results in wholeness and health in every sphere of human activity.
- To network with Native and non-Native leaders and organizations to develop respectful approaches to living out a biblical faith that honors and incorporates the cultural expressions of First Nations peoples.
- To see Indigenous traditions and worldview values embraced as a vital influence in shaping Christendom and other religious traditions of those working in our Native communities throughout the Americas.
- To serve internationally as a bridge builder and consulting resource for developing genuine community, unity, consciousness of social justice, creation stewardship and mutuality among diverse peoples.
- To develop indigenous educational models, materials, national seminars and learning centers to provide Native people with a biblically informed, yet thoroughly indigenous worldview framework; ultimately this will empower people and communities to rise above neo-colonial oppression, internally and externally, to raise up future generations of strong healthy leaders; this includes indigenous communities in North, Central South America and beyond.
- To organize and lead international Native Dance and Performing Arts Team(s), to share the beauty of our cultures, tribal and personal stories to build bridges of peace and understanding in the global community.
- To encourage, promote, and facilitate the producing of Creator-honoring music, the promotion of the faithful practice of traditional ceremonies that strengthens people, families and communities and emphasize the need for spiritual faithfulness to our Creator and Father Above as Life-giver and Waymaker.
- We believe that Creator exists within the context of community; God-the-Father, God-the-the Son, and God-the-Holy Spirit. God is Author, Creator, and Sustainer of all human and non-human creation.
- We believe the Biblical story is God's self-revelation to humankind and that it is for all peoples and all languages everywhere as the sacred writings of Creator.
- We believe that humankind was created in the image of God, but because of pride and rebellion, rejected the Creator’s path of beauty, wandering in darkness and alienation from God. Jesus performed the "once and for all ceremony" through His death on a cross, and resurrection from the dead. By this He defeated the power of death and made a way for all tribes and nations to return to a loving relationship within the community of Heaven.
