Gather Youth and adults who have an eagerness to serve the Lord in tangible ways; those who have a hunger for confidence in Biblical understanding, who seek a resilient relationship with God, who want to spread the Gospel and serve their community.
Train in Biblical Doctrine, Evangelism, Discipleship, and Leadership for a mission-filled life.
Facilitate Community Discussions, Evangelism, Outreach Partnerships, and Mission Trips (Local & Short-term).
Partner with churches and organizations to multiply the training process in their community. We don't just run an event and leave. We help develop their own mobile evangelism teams, their own outreach calendar, and their own confidence in sending people into the mission field.
We believe
There is one God, eternally existing in three coequal Persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—Creator of heaven and earth and of all that is, seen and unseen.
Jesus Christ is the only-begotten Son of God, fully God and fully man, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, who lived a sinless life, died on the cross as the substitutionary atoning sacrifice for sinners, rose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, and will personally return in glory to judge the living and the dead.
The Holy Spirit is fully God, who regenerates, indwells, sanctifies, and empowers all who repent and believe in Christ.
The Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the inspired, infallible, and inerrant Word of God, the only final and sufficient authority in all matters of faith and practice.
Humanity, male and female, is created in the image of God, yet all people are fallen in Adam, dead in sin, and justly condemned before God.
Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, to the glory of God alone, as revealed in Scripture alone.
God has designed marriage to be the lifelong covenant union of one man and one woman, and sexual intimacy belongs only within that union. God has created mankind male and female; these two distinct, complementary sexes together reflect the image and nature of God, and the denial or blurring of this creation distinction is sin.
The Church is the covenant community of all who, being justified by faith, are united to Christ and to one another, called to worship God, make disciples of all nations, and await the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting.
To Him—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—be glory forever. Amen.
The prayers for our hearts in evangelism are rooted in these:
Boldness with Humility & Honor
Hospitality without Prejudice
Resilience in Faithfulness, Worship & Prayer
Sincerity in Joy, Love & Peace
How We Plan to Teach our Evangelism Teams: Doctrine, Practice, Deployment, Multiplication
We do not believe that simply telling a teenager to "be bold" is a strategy. Boldness without biblical clarity leads to frustration, and technique without spiritual depth leads to manipulation.
Our training follows a deliberate, four-step progression: The Classroom, The Role-Play Lab, The Street, and The Sending.
1. The Classroom: Grounding in Truth Before we ask students to defend the Gospel, we make sure they actually understand it. We start with deep, rigorous biblical doctrine. If you do not know why you believe what you believe, a single well-rehearsed objection from a skeptical classmate will silence you. We build the foundation first: the holiness of God, the reality of human sin, the sufficiency of Scripture, and the finished work of Christ.
2. The Role-Play Lab: Forging the Reflex Once the theology is established, we move to practice. We use the Columbo Tactic (based on the framework by Gregory Koukl) to teach students how to navigate spiritual conversations. The Columbo approach replaces argumentative posturing with directed curiosity. Instead of trying to corner someone in a debate, we train students to ask two simple, powerful questions:
"What do you mean by that?"
"How did you come to that conclusion?"
This method forces clarity, exposes the flaws in secular thinking, and keeps the conversation moving toward truth without escalating into a shouting match. We are not training street-corner shouters or internet debaters. We are training ambassadors who know how to ask a question that acts as a stone in the shoe, gently but firmly challenging a person's worldview while maintaining deep respect for them as an image-bearer of God. We practice these scenarios in safe, supervised pairs so that by the time they step outside, the rhythm of grace and truth is a reflex, not a panic response.
3. The Street: Missional Deployment Evangelism is not a spectator sport. After weeks of doctrinal grounding and tactical practice, our Teams deploy. We take the Anchor Group out of the classroom and into our local community—parks, campuses, and neighborhoods. They engage real people, face real rejections, and learn to rely entirely on the Holy Spirit. And because spiritual growth requires ongoing shepherding, we debrief every outing to correct missteps, celebrate faithfulness, and point them back to the cross.
4. The Sending: Culture Multiplication We do not keep the mission to ourselves. Once our mobile evangelism teams have been trained and have gained real-world experience, we begin partnering with other churches and organizations to help them build their own evangelism cultures from the ground up.
This is not about showing up once to run an event and leave. This is about transfer and duplication. We walk alongside other ministries to help them:
Train their own proposed Evangelism Teams using the same Anchor Group curriculum
Facilitate community outreach events that create natural Gospel conversations—block parties, bounce house park events with food and music, car shows, community carnivals, or Vacation Bible School support
Develop sustainable systems that keep evangelism as a regular, expected part of church culture rather than a one-time program
The goal is never dependency. The goal is to equip another church to stand on its own, with its own trained teams, its own outreach calendar, and its own confidence in proclaiming Christ. We are not just building teams; we are building movements that outlast any single group.
We do not teach our groups to win arguments. We teach them to win people for Christ. And then we send them out to help other churches do the same.
This Ministry Covenant is agreed to by all leaders and participants. This is not a legal contract but a mutual pledge before God and one another to walk in faithfulness.
Maranatha (מָרַנָא תָא in Aramaic, μαράναθά in Greek) is one of the oldest Christian prayers, and it translates simply as:
"Our Lord, come!" or "Come, O Lord!"
It appears in 1 Corinthians 16:22 as an undisputed Aramaic phrase preserved in the Greek text—Paul did not translate it because the early church already knew it by heart. It also echoes in Revelation 22:20, where John closes the entire canon with: "He who testifies to these things says, 'Surely I am coming soon.' Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!" Some scholars also identify it in the earliest Christian liturgy outside Scripture, the Didache (10:6), where it was prayed around the Lord's Table.
The phrase carries a dual tension:
Marana tha ("Our Lord comes") — a declaration that Christ is coming in judgment and glory.
Maranatha ("Come, Lord!") — a plea from a people who long for His return.
The name is not decorative. It is theological. It captures the driving tension under which our Anchor Group operates:
1. The Lordship of Christ (Maran — "Our Lord") Everything we train students to do flows from one confession: Jesus is Lord. He is not merely Savior from personal guilt; He is King over every sphere — school, workplace, culture, and eternity. Evangelism is simply the announcement of that Kingship to people who do not yet know it.
2. The Urgency of the Return (Tha — "Come") The name is a constant reminder that the window for the mission is narrowing. This is why your ministry cannot drift into vague youth-group activities. There is no time for fluff. There is no time for entertainment-first evangelism. The return of Christ is the reason a 15-year-old needs to learn the Columbo tactic as seriously as a seminary student learns Greek.
3. The Dependence on the Spirit "Maranatha" is not a self-help motto. It is a cry. It reminds us that we do not manufacture revival, we do not coerce conversions, and we do not force the kingdom. We proclaim: the Spirit convicts. That posture frees us from performance anxiety and anchors us in faithful obedience rather than measurable results.
4. The Eschatological Hope The students we train are going to walk into broken homes, suicidal friends, skeptical classmates, and hostile worldviews. "Maranatha" reminds us that the story does not end in cultural decline — it ends in renewal. Our labor is not in vain, because the King is coming to make all things new.
"What does Maranatha mean for you?"
"We train as if He is coming soon — because He is."
That is the heartbeat of our Anchor Group. It is what makes doctrine matter, tactics necessary, and deployment urgent.
