    • Finances

    • Global Disciples Sydney seeks to be creative and flexible in how financial arrangements are made, so we want to do our best to communicate well in this area. In general, we want you to grow in faith in seeing God's provision as well as experience a community living into financial koinonia (partnership/sharing) with each other.
    • As you engage in Global Disciples Sydney, we have found that it is best for you and us to have thought through some of these further details (your answers are more for open communication and self-awareness than to qualify for the training).
    • Pioneers is an evangelical community of cross-cultural workers. Within this community there are a range of beliefs on "secondary issues" not addressed in our Statemement of Faith. These are a few of issues that we find can be tension points on teams if not approached with an ethos of humility and grace:
    • Pioneers Statement of Faith

      Below is the Pioneers Statement of Faith. If you have any reservations concerning these doctrinal statements, or if you have any questions or comments you would like to make, please feel free to do so in the space provided below.
      • WE BELIEVE that the Holy Scriptures, consisting of Old and New Testaments, were originally given by God, divinely inspired, without error, infallible, and are entirely trustworthy and the supreme authority in all matters of faith and practice.
      • WE BELIEVE in one God, Creator of all things, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
      • WE BELIEVE in our Lord Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh, his virgin birth, sinless life, divine miracles, vicarious and atoning death on the cross, bodily resurrection, ascension and exaltation, mediatorial work, and personal, imminent, and visible return in power and glory.
      • WE BELIEVE that Adam and Eve, created in the image of God, were tempted by Satan, the god of this world, and fell; that their sin has passed to all people, who as a result are lost, are unable to save themselves from the wrath of God, and need to be saved.
      • WE BELIEVE that salvation is a gift of God to those who repent and personally believe in Jesus Christ; that it is accomplished by God’s grace through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ and regeneration by the Holy Spirit.
      • WE BELIEVE in God the Holy Spirit who indwells all believers enabling them to live holy lives, and to witness and work for the Lord Jesus Christ despite opposition from the world, the flesh, and Satan.
      • WE BELIEVE in the spiritual unity of all true believers, the universal Church, the Body of Christ.
      • WE BELIEVE in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of eternal life with God, they that are lost unto the resurrection of eternal condemnation separated from God.
      • WE BELIEVE that Christ commanded the Church to go into all the world and make disciples of all peoples, baptising them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and teaching those who believe to obey all that Christ commanded.
