Our Values - What is important to us?

  1. Our Faith

Caleb Leadership Ministries is Christ-Centered. We confess the gospel of Jesus Christ as expressed in the Apostles’ Creed [See below]. Because we live by means of the Gospel, we also desire to live in the manner of the Gospel, and to dedicate ourselves to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ. This is done with the hope that men and women will come to put their trust in God through Christ, confess Him as their Saviour and serve Him as their Lord – In fellowship with the local church. We believe in the inerrancy of Scripture, the Bible being the inspired Word of God, given to us under the direction of the Holy Spirit.

The Apostles’ Creed:
“I believe in God, the Father Almighty.
Maker of heaven and earth;
And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit?
Born of the Virgin Mary,
Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
Was crucified, dead and buried.
He descended into hell.
The third day he rose again from the dead,
He ascended into heaven,
And is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty,
From there he shall come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit;
The Holy Catholic church;
The communion of the saints;
The forgiveness of sins;
The resurrection of the body and life everlasting. Amen.
  1. The Church

We recognise that the local church is Christ’s instrument to extend His Kingdom, and we are committed to serving the local church and its members through an offering of excellent leadership training, internship and consultancy services so as to better the church to fulfill its’ mandate. We are our accountability to the church.

  1. Candidates for Christian Leadership

The Qualities we seek to develop in candidates for leadership include a missionary heart, a deep love and respect for people, the maturity and giftedness for leadership responsibility, and a genuine desire to know Christ and make Him known. We want to develop men and women with Christian values who are healthy role models especially for young people, and who are committed to the local church.

  1. Training Programs

Caleb Leadership Ministries training programs employ a unique methodology designed to build confidence with a “how to” type approach involving participation and skill development, an environment of affirmation and personal accountability. We believe it is appropriate to use all the giftedness and leadership tools which God has given us.

  1. Relational Ministry

The way a person gets to know Christ is through the Word, as well as being in community with the people of God who love Christ. The truth of the Gospel is not taught, but caught, as the person of Jesus Christ is experienced through relationships. We emphasize that evangelism and discipleship can be effectively implemented in an environment where there is an experience of friendship, family, and Christian community.

  1. Staff and Volunteers

We are committed to maintaining a work environment which encourages creativity and initiative whilst recognising achievement. We strive to model and promote balanced family lives and Christ-centered lifestyles. We are committed to excellence. We desire to be the best and do the best to the credit of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
