Every ministry has an identity, a DNA if you will, which is formed by the interaction of theology, philosophy and practice.
At 2XSALT we continue to see the formation of our own identity as servants within the culture in which the Lord has entrusted us.
It is our desire to clearly articulate our uniqueness through the following methodologies:

Incarnational        Missional        Sacrificial        Depth

THEOLOGY

Theology is a ministry's understanding of God and His Word.

PHILOSOPHY

Philosophy is how a ministry embodies its theological beliefs.

PRACTICE

Practice is the actual service of the body.

Incarnational - (John 1: 9-14)

John 1: 14
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His Glory, the Glory as of the Only Begotten of the Father, full of Grace and Truth.

Missional - (Matthew 5: 13-16; 25: 31-46)

Matthew 5:13-14
13 You are the salt of the earth and light of the World.

Matthew 25: 35-36
35 For I was hungry, and you gave Me meat: I was thirsty, and you gave Me drink: I was a stranger and you took Me in: 36 Naked, and you clothed Me: I was sick, and you visited Me: I was in prison, and you came unto Me.

Sacrificial - (Matthew 20: 28)

Matthew 20:28 (NIV)
28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.

Depth - (Matthew 28: 19-20)

Matthew 28:19-20 (NIV)
19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.

Incarnational perspective:

Like the Son of God who left His heavenly home to dwell among those whom He loved, we want to be known for our willingness "to get out of the salt shaker" and take the Gospel from within the walls of our building and "flavor" the lives of others.

Missional perspective:

To be "Salt and light" and win the least, last, and lost of our society by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We seek to accomplish this through challenging our people to live a Gospel-centered life and missionally serving through our ministries of sports, mentoring, church and Women of 2xSalt. (Practice)

Sacrificial perspective:

The Bible teaches to have a heart of humility that says, "Do not cater to me. I am here to serve." In the end, the greatest need, felt or not, is for the Gospel. We need to sacrifice our time, talent and treasures for His glory.

Depth perspective:

We believe the primary purpose of ministry is to make disciples
- to encourage and develop mature followers of Jesus Christ.

What does this mean for you?

The driving passion in our philosopy is that our ministry does not merely consist of property, buildings and people doing sports, mentoring and church, but authentically being the body of Christ that is "culturally relevant" in sharing life together with all people yet never being "spiritually irrelevant."
