Vision statement

To resource the vision of reservation pastors.

Mission statement

Native American Ministries partners with reservation churches, typically for a period of three to five years. We provide the resources they need to become strong, self-sustaining works that are able to initiate and sustain ministry beyond their own communities.

Goals

Native American Ministry’s three primary goals are to help churches become:

Self-supporting
A self-supporting church is able generate revenue to support all of the financial needs of the church. Those needs include facilities maintenance, administration, and all ministry programs such as evangelism, discipleship, and missions.

Self- propagating
Self-propagating churches are those that evangelize the lost and make disciples. They are able to initiate and maintain ministry beyond their own communities via U.S. and world missions involvement and the establishment of outstations and/or church planting initiatives.

Self-governing
A local church is self-governing when it is able to execute all activities pertaining to business matters, leadership selection and training, and disciplinary action.

Core values

That active belief in the person and work of Jesus Christ is the sole means by
       which people enter the Kingdom of God.
That God is a healer of the spirit, mind, and body.
That the Spirit filled life should play an important role in the life and vitality of
       every Christian.
That Native American culture was created by God to uniquely express His plan
       of salvation.
That every aspect of Native American culture and language ought to be normal
       for worship and service to God as long as it does not contradict His
       written word.
That the ultimate objective of ministry is to make disciples of Jesus Christ.
That every congregation is expected to obey the commandment to go and make
       disciples of all nations.
That every Native American church has a divine destiny to be a fully functioning,
       self-sustaining work.
