Section I: Mission, Purpose, and Focus Areas

Expressing the agape love of our Lord Jesus, demonstrated to us, through our love in action towards others as glory, praise and thanks to God the Father.

In the vernacular of 21st century English, Doxa Theos Ministries’ charter is to “Pay It Forward”—to pay the love of Jesus shown to us to others through our actions. In Biblical terms and concepts, our charter is best captured by the following verses:

 Colossians 3 (NKJV)

12 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; 13 bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. 14 But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
