Christ Centeredness: With Christ being the motivation of all we do, we will produce true value. He is the One we model our lives after, and so He is the one whom all of our values must be derived from. Keeping Christ as the center of our lives prevents our pursuits from revolving around the promoting of self, and enables us to be purposeful and productive sons and daughters of the Kingdom.

Generational Vision: God’s heart is for joining the generations, and generational transfer is the very means by which He determined His purposes to be extended throughout time. Generational transfer is an issue of the heart. It enables us to embrace the responsibility to impart to the ones coming behind, the life and deposit of Christ entrusted to us by preceding generations.

Fathering: God’s plan from the beginning was that His truth was to be taught and lived out in the context of family. The students in the Master’s Commission don’t live in dormitories, but stay in host homes. They are surrounded by spiritual mothers and fathers who speak identity into them, and provide a safe place for them to grow and learn. As they learn to become mature sons and daughters, relationships in their own families are impacted and blessed.

Discipleship: God’s pattern for spiritual growth and maturity has always involved the need for mentors and those willing to be mentored. A discipleship relationship enables life purpose and destiny to be discovered and defined. The pattern of discipleship provides the context for accountability, self-discipline, and spiritual authority.

Covenant: Walking in right relationship with God, and with His people, means being a people of covenant, who walk openly before each other and God, establishing relationships that are built on firm principles and agreements that will last a lifetime.

Christ-like Character: What we build with our giftings can easily be destroyed by our lack of character. As Christ’s life and character is the pattern for us to follow, the Master’s Commission is committed to training up those who live lives of service, love, sacrifice, faith, obedience, and genuine joy.

Representation of Christ: Everything we do, is to be done with all of our might and as unto the Lord. Therefore, we endeavor to be those whose excellence in faith, work ethic and passion, represent Christ accurately.

Leadership: Those who serve, lead, and are given positions of increasing influence. Leadership training is accomplished in the Master’s Commission through practicing servanthood and laying down one’s life for their friends. Practical training in leadership principles is experienced throughout the year.

Training in “The way” of the Lord: There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death, and a lack of fruit. God has a way for us to live, and He has given us His word, His Holy Spirit, and each other, to discover it. His way makes it possible to live lives that are Spirit-led and undistracted in our devotion to Christ. We seek His way so that we can walk in His enabling grace, and live lives of holiness and righteousness unto Him.
