The Church’s Service in the Civic Space

The church’s role in society is both spiritual and civic, as it is called to engage with the world while maintaining its distinct identity as a community set apart by God. This dual nature has led to an ongoing discussion about how the church should interact with the civic affairs of a nation. Should the […]

For decades, Dennis Peacocke has brought  groundbreaking worldview  teachings to the body of Christ through his Twelve Master Principles for Building Lives, Organizations, and Nations.© They are:

  1. Transcendence
  2. Choice
  3. Reciprocity
  4. Service Based Power
  5. Division of Labor
  6. Separation of Powers
  7. Jurisdictional Government
  8. Localism v Centralism
  9. Limits
  10. Justice Equality
  11. Results Based Reality
  12. Bridge of Trust

These timeless principles inform how we solve problems in our nations and communities.

The body of Christ has a deep reservoir of non-profits, businesses, and NGOs that are experts in developing and deploying solutions to specific problems. Some operate at the national level, while others regionally and locally. The Rebuilders Network identifies these organizations and gathers specific information about their area of expertise and capacity to expand their reach. ​

Through Community Action Councils, leaders draw on this reservoir as needed to form coalitions of SRPs who collaborate, strategize, and share responsibilities to meet specific needs in their community. 

All transformative work ultimately is expressed through local churches. A top priority of the Rebuilders Network is to ensure that church leadership in a community is aware of and participating in the initiatives of their Community Action Council.

A GTN Allied Partner is a person or organization that has expertise in a specific area that will provide local leaders with teaching and consulting to help them achieve the community transformation they desire. Allied Partners are vetted by TN leadership as being in alignment with the GTNs overall vision and goals and are in “good standing” ethically and relationally.

In communities where there is an identified desire to develop ekklesia leadership, either in general, or to address a specific issue, the GTN CAC Team may be called upon to assist local leaders with any of the following:

#1. Provide the community leaders with a “toolkit” that will empower them to “stand up” and coordinate issue specific Action Councils within their community.

#2. Conduct a survey where leaders can assess a community’s needs and local assets (both people and things) that will help them meet their goals. a Identifv areas where needs exist that have not been previously identified by the community leaders.

#3. Conduct a “gap analysis” and identify where Allied Partners may provide expertise, training, or consulting to achieve their desired outcomes.

Transcendent Values Statement

We believe in the reality of “transcendence,” that is, that some principles are more foundational than others, and prioritized accordingly. We believe that holding truth with humility is a sign of virtue and common respect. We believe that wise leaders strategically align themselves with the truth, “first things first.” In terms of mankind’s social order, we believe that societies prosper most when they:

  • Affirm and apply a Higher moral law based on transcendent values given by the Creator; religion and speech must be respected without state coercion.
  • Stand deeply committed to the historic idea of marriage, gender, and the family’s sovereign authority for educating its children, especially in principles of liberty.
  • Stand deeply committed to innocent human life, human labor, private property, natural resources, and equal justice for all, especially the poor.
  • Stand deeply committed to jurisdictional sphere sovereignty [individual, family, business, civil] by limiting state interference in political and economic choices.
  • Finally, we recognize the reality that essentially all public philosophy or law is an extension of “religion,” theological or secular. When we attempt to manage society or others, we are making moral decisions based on defining good and evil, right and wrong, all in the context of democratic pluralism. We believe that the best opportunity to secure freedom and sustainable prosperity is found in transparency, accountability, and results-based reality.
