As a Doxa Deo Family we are called to change and transform cities to places where God’s glory can be seen. To achieve this, we realise that the church needs to get involved with every sphere of society:  

 

Want to understand the HOW? The most important thing to realise is that Doxa Deo does not see church as taking place within the walls of a church building. Church becomes everyday life and finds its expression and value outside the walls of the church. God equipped the Doxa Deo Family with a workable plan!

People don’t come to church to be part of a programme, they ARE the programme! We believe that our partners can make a difference there where they function and operate on a daily basis – at home, at work, with family or with friends. No matter where our partners function, they understand their purpose: Be light and salt for the earth! They see themselves as Ambassadors of the Kingdom with one mission: To establish God’s glory wherever they function. In Doxa Deo we call these people CITY CHANGERS.      

Through our campuses we encourage our partners to get involved with their cities and we have found creative ways of doing this. Through our campuses we approach existing organisations and serve them passionately with the love and Word of God. For example this includes the Doxa Deo TREE process and also our Children’s Homes. This is Doxa Deo getting involved and serving its city.

We establish models within the different spheres of society. For example, POPUP (People Upliftment Programme) is how skills training and development looks like when functioning from a position of Christianity. Our schools and colleges represent what Christ-centred education looks like. And it is this part that makes the Doxa Deo Family unique!

How can a church also be a school, children’s home or social upliftment programme?

For some people it is difficult to understand how a church can also be a school, children’s home or skills training and development centre. But that is exactly the beauty of it. God is not only present in a Sunday service, He finds expression in our every-day world, there where we work and live each day. We are not only a church, we are a MOVEMENT. The Doxa Deo Family is a ministry that is passionate about cities and shows it.
