We exist to see people become passionate followers of Jesus.
HOW WE DO MINISTRY
At ZEALHOUSE, we pursue the example of ministry set forth by Christ's example.
We invest in ministry which builds and grows believers through all circles of relationship. Equipping them for deep faith in their inner being which overflows into their outer life.
We see Jesus’ ministry operating in four relational circles:
THE ONE
Jesus recognized the ONE.
His primary relationship was with the Father.
He regularly isolated himself for deep connection with the Father.
“And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone”
Matthew 14:23 ESV
“And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he departed and went out to a desolate place, and there he prayed.”
Mark 1:35 ESV
“But he would withdraw to desolate places and pray.”
Luke 5:16 ESV
We believe the most life-giving space of spiritual relationship is in the presence of God himself.
“But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.”
Matthew 6:6 ESV
THE FEW
Jesus did ministry with the FEW.
Jesus modeled perfect Christian community where believers pursue Christ as mentors, mentees, and peers.
For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.”
Matthew 18:20 ESV
“Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed.”
James 5:16 ESV
“Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.”
Galatians 6:2 ESV
“And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.”
Acts 2:46-47 ESV
THE MANY
Jesus led the MANY.
Jesus gathered large crowds to share vision, encouragement, teaching and correction.
“And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.”
Hebrews 10:24-25 ESV
We believe gathering together corporately as a community of faith is essential to our spiritual growth and impact in culture. When Jesus left earth He left us the church! We have a heart for God’s house and believe His church is critical to changing the world.
THE KINGDOM
Jesus called us to serve the KINGDOM.
When we are empowered by the Spirit, the fruit becomes an overflow.
“You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.”
Galatians 5:13, NIV
“In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
Acts 20:35, NIV
We believe the church body should be the hands and feet of Christ. Join us as we serve others within the church and in our community through local missions.
