Mission, Vision and Values

We affirm the vital place of prayer in all that we do, as we seek God's guidance, wisdom, power, protection and blessing, in the name of Jesus Christ and for his glory.

We affirm the supreme authority of the Bible and are convinced of its centrality for church growth, health and maturity.

We believe in the importance of biblical preaching, knowing God reforms, renews, sustains and nourishes his church as it is preached with textual faithfulness and contextual relevance.

The Bible insists God's people need teaching and teachers. We affirm seminary as a key institution for training pastors as well as the importance of informal teaching and learning. We strongly emphasize the need to train those who will teach others, and we affirm the strategic value of Christian literature in the context of teaching.

Although Langham is a parachurch agency, our primary objective is to foster the growth and mission of the church, not promote our own ministries.

We come alongside churches and Christian organizations where we serve as partners. We only undertake programs and projects at the invitation of local and national church leaders, in consultation with them and wherever possible, under local leadership.

We seek to embody a posture of servanthood, rejecting actions, policies or communications that carry pride or paternalism. We pray humility shapes all our relationships and that we respond to any success God grants with modesty and gratitude.

We long to facilitate a greater equity and mutual sharing of God's blessings in the global church, both spiritual and material.

We insist on honesty, accountability and transparency in everything we do, from internal and external communication to our operations and partnerships.

We pursue the highest standards of excellence spiritually, professionally and academically, knowing God is worth the best we can offer.

We aim to model spiritual growth at all levels of our organization and in all our ministry activities by pursuing biblical discipleship, godliness and Christ-likeness.
