Ameritribes is an evangelical, interdenominational community whose purpose is to make God known among tribal peoples of the Americas by establishing reproducing churches.

To this end, we pursue a church-planting strategy which includes ministry to human need, evangelism, discipleship, and training of church leaders with a view to phase-out.

We hold the following Core Values:

• Commitment to Biblical Truth
We submit to God’s written Word as the final authority for all aspects of life (personal and corporate) and ministry.

• Prayer
We demonstrate our faith in, and dependence on, God through individual and corporate prayer. Through prayer, we exercise our God-given authority to tear down strongholds of thinking that set themselves up against the knowledge of God in the minds of the people. (2 Cor. 10:4-5)

• Cultural Relevance
We seek to share the gospel in a culturally appropriate manner by becoming proficient in the history, culture, and language of the focus people.

• Innovation
We encourage a pioneering spirit characterized by creative methods, and application of biblical truth to changing needs.

• Excellence
We strive for excellence as we seek to effectively fulfill all aspects of our ministry.

• Sacrifice
We persevere in completing our God-given tasks with joy, even in the absence of ease or comfort.

• Integrity
We hold each other accountable to develop godly character, living and working in a manner above reproach.

• Community
United by common values and goals, we strive to be a loving, caring community that affirms the worth of each member.

• Team
We commit to work together in teams as a synergistic means of maximizing contributions and modeling relationships for new churches.

• Lifelong Learning
Believing that continuous development of ministry skills and personal character is essential to effective service, we encourage our members to be life-long learners.

• Partnerships
We partner with like-minded mission agencies and churches, sharing information, personnel, and resources. We pursue joint ministry projects where appropriate.
