OLM Constitution

Copies of our constitution can be made available to people who are actively considering commitment to OLM. However, the substance of the constitution is covered in the pages of this website.

Leadership

We believe in Apostolic Leadership, in which the church leadership is recognized according to Ephesians 4:11. The leadership has a four-fold responsibility (Ephesians 4:12-16) of equipping the church for ministry. The equipping is meant to bring the church to maturity in four distinct areas:
  1. STATURE (verse 13)
  2. STABILITY (verse 14)
  3. SPEECH (verse 15)
  4. SERVICE (verse 16)
Leadership philosophy
Don’t push your way to the front; don't sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. (4) Don't be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand. (5) Think of yourselves the way Christ Jesus thought of himself. (6) He had equal status with God but didn't think so much of himself that he had to cling to the advantages of that status no matter what (Philippians 2:3-6; The Message Bible).
We emphasize the servant-hood nature of Christian life.

Leadership values

We subscribe to an empowering and releasing leadership that demonstrates and upholds the following values:
  1. Lordship of Jesus Christ
  2. Godly servant-leadership
  3. Teamwork
  4. Responsibility
  5. Accountability (transparency)
  6. Bible-based preaching
  7. Tithing (generosity)
  8. Authenticity
