Who
are the Navigators?
The Navigators are an
international network of people who believe the best life possible is
found in following Jesus Christ.
Our
passion is to help others know him and become his disciples.
Navigator staff help Christians
"navigate" spiritually, coming along side them as they search
the Word of God to chart their lives.
Navigator staff teaches people to
follow Christ passionately and help them:
- apply the Bible to their daily lives,
- pass on what they learn to others, and
- train these new believers, in turn, to
reach still others.
Navigators accept people wherever they are in
their spiritual journey and share the difference Jesus makes in their
lives every day through genuine relationships.

What we do
OUR MOTTO is
To
know Christ & make him known.
OUR MISSION is to serve Christ and fellow
members of the body of Christ by reaching, discipling, and equipping
lifetime laborers to know Christ and to make Him known through successive
generations.
What we see
OUR VISION is to advance
the Gospel by filling the nations with lifetime laborers who together
multiply among the lost.
What we value
- Loving and serving Christ with a passion.
We seek to exalt Christ in our lives and ministries. We also seek to
stimulate a passion for loving and serving Christ among the people
with whom we labor, both believers and nonbelievers (Phil.
3:10).
- Living by faith in the promises of God.
We believe that God has given His people marvelous promises in His
Word. We seek to claim the inheritance of these promises as we step
out in faith and obedience, confident that He will do what He has said
He would do (2
Pet. 1:4; Isa. 60:22).
- Engaging in the spiritual disciplines.
We often discover and enjoy the love and grace our Father lavishes
upon us as we engage in the spiritual disciplines. Therefore, through
His grace and strength, we joyfully walk in obedience to Him and
commit ourselves to abiding in God’s Word, cultivating a life of
prayer, and living in community with our fellow believers (1
Tim. 4:7b–8).
- Treating one another with love, grace, dignity, and respect
because of the wonder and worth of each individual.
Every individual is a wonderful and unique creation. Because of each
person’s worth to God, the kingdom, and one another, we are
concerned about the care, development, and reputation of every person.
We will treat one another with love, grace, dignity, and respect (Rom.
12:4–5; 1 Cor. 12:7,14; Col. 3:12–13).
- Sharing the Gospel by life and word in the power of the Holy
Spirit.
Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we seek to be meaningfully
involved with those who do not know Christ in ways that demonstrate
and proclaim the Gospel of the kingdom of God (2
Cor. 5:20; Col. 1:28–29).
- Ministering life-to-life.
We seek to minister to one another out of intense, personal
relationships. Effective caring, nurturing, and equipping are most
often done in the context of life-to-life relationships (1
Thess. 2:8).
Statement of Faith
We believe
in the Scripture of the Old and New Testaments as inspired by God, and
inerrant in the original writing, and that they are of supreme and final
authority in faith and life.
We believe
in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy
Spirit.
We believe
that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, was born of the virgin
Mary, and is true God and true man.
We believe
that man was created in the image of God; that he sinned, and thereby
incurred, not only physical death, but also that spiritual death which is
separation from God; and that all human beings are born with a sinful
nature.
We believe
that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scripture,
as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice; and that all who
believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood.
We believe
in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension
into Heaven, and in His present life there for us as High Priest and
Advocate.
We believe
in "that blessed hope," the personal and imminent return of our
Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
We believe
that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the
Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God.
We believe
in the bodily resurrection of the just and unjust, the everlasting
blessedness of the saved, and the everlasting punishment of the lost.
