Our Culture | The Shepherd's Tent

Our Identity A resting place for the Lovers of God.

We believe in Apostolic government, order, and teaching. We understand the Apostolic as ones sent to re-present and establish the culture we are sent from. That culture is “on earth as it is in heaven.”

We believe that revival is Yahweh very present within the lives of His people. Because He is present we will take responsibility to steward personal and corporate encounters.

We believe this culture is established by three pillars: Honor, Devotion, and Order.

Our Blueprint: Apostolic Revival Culture

Apostolic Revival Culture Characteristics

Foundational

So, you are not foreigners or guests, but rather you are the children of the city of the holy ones, with all the rights as family members of the household of God. You are rising like the perfectly fitted stones of the temple; and your lives are being built up together upon the ideal foundation laid by the apostles and prophets, and best of all, you are connected to the Head Cornerstone of the building, the Anointed One, Jesus Christ himself! This entire building is under construction and is continually growing under his supervision until it rises up completed as the holy temple of the Lord himself. This means that God is transforming each one of you into the Holy of Holies, his dwelling place, through the power of the Holy Spirit living in you!

Eph 2:19-22

Governmental

Fathering

1From Paul, an apostle in Christ Jesus, for it was Jesus himself, our living hope, who sent me as his servant by the command of God, our life-giver.

2Timothy, you are my true spiritual son in the faith. May abundant grace, mercy, and total well-being from God the Father and the Anointed One, our Lord Jesus, be yours!

1 Timothy 1:1-2

1From Paul, an apostle of Jesus the Messiah, appointed by God’s pleasure to announce the wonderful promise of life found in Jesus, the anointed Messiah.

2My beloved son, I pray for a greater release of God’s grace, love, and total well-being to flow into your life from God our Father and from our Lord Jesus Christ!

2 Tim 1:1-2

Supernatural Community

Equipping

11And he has appointed some with grace to be apostles, and some with grace to be prophets, and some with grace to be evangelists, and some with grace to be pastors, and some with grace to be teachers. 12And their calling is to nurture and prepare all the holy believers to do their own works of ministry, and as they do this they will enlarge and build up the body of Christ. 13These grace ministries will function until we all attain oneness into the faith, until we all experience the fullness of what it means to know the Son of God, and finally we become one into a perfect man with the full dimensions of spiritual maturity and fully developed into the abundance of Christ.

Eph 4:11-13

Unified

32All the believers were one in mind and heart. Selfishness was not a part of their community, for they shared everything they had with one another. 33The apostles gave powerful testimonies about the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great measures of grace rested upon them all. 34-35Some who owned houses or land sold them and brought the proceeds before the apostles to distribute to those without. Not a single person among them was needy.

Acts 4:32-35

Our Cultural Declarations

We have been sent to Covington, GA to raise up a family of sons and daughters that will host the Presence of God extravagantly.

We have been sent as shepherds to open the door of reconciliation to God, teaching the world to respond to His favor.

To provide place for those who are exiting the systems of religion to find rest in the Presence of Jesus.

We are establishing a home where sons and daughters can find identity and authenticity in Christ alone.

We will proclaim the wonder of the gospel of the Kingdom and present to Jesus a generation innocent and blameless. This is the reward of His suffering!

Through hearing and obeying we believe a glorious family will emerge that Yahweh has entrusted us to father into the fullness of His plan for generations to come.
