Distinctives

The Keystone Project emerged on the mission! Therefore our work takes us outside of the institutional church and is not dependent on any program or structure for its success.  Our discipleship training is not concerned with how we meet; it is concerned with how we live!  While the training does not deny the importance of church gatherings, it intentionally focuses on the development of a Great Commission lifestyle through the cultivation of loving relationships, the skillful use of spiritual gifts, and the daily application of God's Word through Spirit-led obedience.

The Distinctives of the Keystone Project Vision

  • It focuses on launching disciple-making movements and the emergence of healthy, multiplying churches from the lives of committed disciples.
  • It is universal in application and can be contextualized in any cultural setting.
  • It emphasizes reproduction and multiplication at every level.
  • It is not dependent on resources, materials, or money for its success.
  • It does not require theological or ministerial training for its leaders.
  • It allows local church structures to emerge locally and organically from the disciple-making process.
  • It places discipleship in a missional rather than academic context.
  • It emphasizes a reliance on prayer and the empowering of the Holy Spirit.
  • It seeks the transformation of local communities as disciples serve the poor and displaced.
  • It unflinchingly embraces the call of the cross to suffer for the fulfillment of the Great Commission.

Read About Our Doctrine

“We had a rough time in my region with the killings of our brethren in the villages. In one state alone we were left with 11,000 refugees with little or no help so I was very involved in trying to raise help… But it has been well and the lessons learned at Keystone have continued to be invaluable. I successfully went to the fourth generation with the first group… Two of them have gone through their fourth generation and we are starting our first redemptive community.”
