God led me to start Saved to God to facilitate paradigm shifts in Christianity in four key areas: salvation, unity, maturity, and culture. Anyone serious about following Christ is going to want to be a part of this. More details coming soon!                      

1. Origin and Mission

Saved to God is the result of almost 20 years of Spirit-led, Biblically oriented, and intellectually challenging preparation. From the time of my ministry calling in summer 2003 to this present season God has been guiding me through a myriad of problems in Christian culture from the theological, to the philosophical, to the cultural.

Toward the last several years of preparation four foundational problems rose to the top as massively damaging to Christian culture. They are sin and its promotion, systematic disunity, spiritual immaturity, and cultural disorientation.

But God has gone far beyond revealing these problems. God has faithfully illuminated a path toward real solutions to these problems. It is these solutions that form what Saved to God is all about. Here is STG's mission in its most basic form.  

To grow, unite, and strengthen the family of God and build a culture worthy of Christ.

The Massive Vision

We must place our sights high in order to envision the completion of the mission of building a Christianity worthy of its Founder. A simplified vision of mission success would look like this. The church would be with God and not with sin, united and not divided, mature and not immature, cultured and not culture-less. This vision is carried out in 4 different phases: content, local, fund, growth. The ultimate vision that the mission aims for is to build Christianity into a culture worthy of Christ so that when Christ returns He may be pleased with the people who are called by His name. In more detail here is what that ultimate vision would look like. I hope you find it as challenging and motivating as I do.

Grow

The church has experienced salvation from sin to God, maximized its evangelistic capacity, and fulfilled the Great Commission.

Unite

The church has dissolved all denominational divisions, united its local bodies by proximity, united all online individuals by their preferred means, and accommodated the vast diversity of individual interpretations within the unity principles of God, truth, Scripture, and righteousness.  

Strengthen

The church has discipled all Christians into Christlike maturity, facilitated the activation of all Christians into their callings, and all Christians are well-equipped and actively fulfilling their callings.  

Culture

The church having grown, united, and strengthened has built a comprehensive human culture that revolves around Christ, is worthy of Christ, has become resilient to cultural challenges in times of peace and persecution, and is found in a state pleasing to Christ at His return.

How to Get InvolvedI pray the Lord stir your heart to capture this culture-building vision for His glory. The vision of Saved to God represents several paradigms shifts that should ring as significant to all Christians. If God is behind these shifts, Christianity will never be the same.

A Little About Me

God, by His grace, has made me a new creation and my identity is now founded in my relationship with Christ, my call to co-labor with Him, the embracing of singlehood to please Him and serve His Kingdom, and gifts the Spirit provides in evangelism, exhortation, teaching, and leadership. I am also an ANTJ, an autodidact, an instinctive builder of systems of thought, and a minimalist. I currently live in the Greater Orlando area.
