The Seven Principles
of an Effective Church

The seven principles for an effective church guide and govern Omega, its staff and its ministries. These organizing principles serve to ensure that every member and every ministry of Omega takes seriously the business of "discipling".

Each principle is designed to assist members and ministries in developing personal, lifelong relationships with Jesus, live transformed Christ-like lives, and carry out Christ's mission in the home, the church, and the world.
