The first Principle Pillar of CGC is the Family Pillar in our order of priority. Why is CGC making the Family Ministry a priority? Because family is the bases for everything in a society. We all come from a home. Every home has a family and every family comprises of fathers and mothers and children. We are not creatures of isolation to live in isolation and self-indulgence. Of course not! We are part of a civilization called family, the most important entity of any social grouping on earth. It is the family that makes a clan, a tribe, a community, a province and a nation.

The Cornerstone Gateway Church (CGC) focuses on the family because all families have to be reached with the Gospel of the Kingdom. All talents are locked in a family and that power must be harnessed properly, to release these potentials to affect the way we live and express ourselves. It is our firm belief that Families in our communities have to be reached with our church programs and ministries.

Therefore, it will be our utmost priority to target families because every soul is an integrated part of a family. When a person is reached with the Gospel, his/her family can be reached with the Gospel as well.

At CGC, we believe that reaching the family is reaching a soul, reaching a society, reaching a community and reaching a nation. All families make all forms a and facets of what a society or country looks like.

CGC as a spiritual enterprise that understands that all its members are an integrated part of a social grouping apart from the church fraternity or church family. People are a part of a social grouping, who speak different languages,customary rituals and behave differently to others maintaining their world views. Church is the place of social integration, where Christians fellowship and socialize with people from other cultures. Papua New Guinea, with its diversity, will have to work smartly to create a church culture of oneness in Christ Jesus. It’s also to motivate an acceptable practice for all to participate with fear.

Therefore, CGC must focus socially on matters of importance to meet the social need of our society, creating institutions such as Schools, Health Services, social welfare services and to be vocal on social injustices and stand with our people in the rural setting of PNG.

The CGC leadership knows that there are professional people in the church with skills and talents to benefit our under- privileged. These gifted believers can be utilized properly by the church to develop our capacity to educate the least fortunate in our nations, settlements and villages. We can develop viability programs, basic book-keeping and sewing and tailoring, hand-craft and cooking and business and wealth creation for social benefit. Through our teachings in motivational seminars, we need to motivate people to become proactive and productive to encounter destiny in cultivating qualitative lives.

CGC must touch the social nerve of this nation with the gospel to raise ethical standards in meeting basic needs in our communities. We request volunteers of resource people like Doctors, Lawyers, Engineers, Teachers, Educators and

Bankers to assist in this mission to educate our people to improve their living. These resource people can put their knowledge and skills together to help the next generation rise with confidence in facing the forth-coming challenges of our time. A prepared church is the one that mentors the next generation, imparting valuable knowledge into their children to stand confidently as leaders, chartering and moving people into purpose.

Therefore, Cornerstone Gateway Church will build schools, Colleges and High Institutions to educate Papua New Guineans with both Academic programs and Spiritual development programs of high qualities. We will also build hospitals for the needy and the disease to improve mortality rate, antenatal care and basic health services to improve quality of living.

PNG needs a healthy work force to build and develop this nation, from a Third World into an industrialized nation. The much debate in this nation is based on issues such as family, gender equality, human rights, HIV/AIDS and other related issues. These agenda will continue to surface in our news headlines until action is taken by the church of God. The church is full of change agents to bring change. However, if we do not see our calling, we are what the Bible describes as having eyes but cannot see (Matt 13:13).

The Bible is a very practical book full of resources, information, insight, principles and examples for our learning. Considering the bible as the text about life, its teachings are pro table to build our systems and processes, business and industries and communities and towns. God gave the church people, who are Resource Tools to train, teach, equip and develop others to be productive in using their knowledge beyond limitation.

Alleviation of Poverty:
As they prosper in wealth creation, it is their obligation to share the blessings with the poor. Gods desire is to eradicate poverty in the lives of his people; there will be no poor person amongst Israel. The same is with the church today, alleviation of poverty as everyone in His church live in prosperity.

Power of prosperity:
CGC believes that its members can become genuine business-man and Business-women. God has blessed people in the Bible like Abraham, Isaac and Job, to name a few who were successful business people of their time. The power to get wealth comes from the Lord (Deut 8:18) and this God is our God.

It is the churches belief that its members can own Industries, corporations, multimillion industries and multi corporations in the nation and beyond. It is CGCs firm believe that men are created equal without prejudices, whereby no race is superior than the other. We are to co-exist to do business at the local level, national level and international levels.

Consideration of others:
It is a biblical principle for us to consider our other communities, who are mentally blind that cannot see life for themselves. They are people in our neighborhood who are uneducated, underprivileged and social outcasts. They need the assistance of the church to rise up to what God has called them to be. The Old Testament concept of God was very clear to the well to do Israelis’ to think about their brothers and the foreigners to glean on the edge of the eld when the land was harvesting.

Talents & Gifts:
I believe that God has placed gifts and talents in every person. Some to do business, others work in organizations, others to preach, others to lead, others to administer and others to serve. Everything we are doing is fulfilling the father’s business. Therefore, CGC encourage, motivate, ignite passion and faith in our people who are entrepreneurs, thinkers, educators, strategists media personals to aggressively rise to maximize their potentials.

Serve God and not mammon:
There is a big problem everywhere in our nation where people are driven by greed motivated by the evil power of mammon, (the spirit behind gaining more). The believer is called to serve God, not the spirit of mammon. The spirit of mammon motivates people to go for more, even when they have enough. We have to make God the Lord over our families, work, homes, business and professional lives. The bible did not say that money is not the root of all evil, but the Love of money is the root of all evil (1 Tim 6:10). We must serve God and let money serve and work for us.

At the center of our principle pillar columns is the spiritual pillar, which is the life given energy to all other principle pillars.We cannot move or live without spiritual life that flow from God into our daily lives. We all need the Spiritual lives in our families, in our jobs, in our duties, in our schools and in our offices. The reason why CGC exist is to bring the spiritual balance and guidance with council and revelation to the church and the nation. Our ministries are to empower the unfortunate, open the eyes of the blinded, bring enlightenment to the confused and give wisdom to the simple.

Gods philosophies are outlined in the Bibles oldest Text Book of life. The Bible covers all aspects of life from engineering, biology, physics, science, arts and sculptures. Study the Bible and you will notice it is a well-resourced document.

This spiritual dimension provides a clear insight into managing our whole life and welfare on earth in the church, in our communities, in our families and in our government.

CGC believes that its members must be ethically sound in conducting their business, their professional behaviors, socially accepted lives in our communities. God’s Word challenges all believers to do their work whole heartedly unto

God and not to man. (Col 3:22-23) We are summoned in the scriptures that our, “Yes be Yes and our No be No” (Matt 5:37). We must be people of our words, live by honest principles and highest integrity at all times.

Politically Relevance is a taboo in the church because we are told to leave politics out of the church. The question must be raised. Who created politics in the first instance? Where did politics occur first? The most obvious place would be the Bible, when God politicked with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. He told them to manage it and be stewards over it so your lives can be sustained. One may ask the question; What is politics? In essence, politics occurs when two or more people converse or discuss issues to solve problems or other matters regarding human wellbeing. The bible is very clear that God is the author of politics; he raised kings and established thrones, empires and domains with various dimensions of power. It is the duty of the church to educate people about this role of serving in politics. CGC feels that God has sent their capable man, to rise to the realm of politics. Leaders with political anointing who are gifted like David, Solomon, Hezekiah and Jeroboam, whom, God mandated to lead nations. The Bible says when the righteous are in authority people rejoice (Prov 29:2). We must affect the areas of decision making in our communities as leaders, councilors, chair-persons of governing boards and members of statutory boards.

The church believes that there are believers who are called like Joseph into Nations’ top Political post to make right decisions for the wellbeing of the citizens. The church has groomed sons/daughters, who, must rise to the call to set godly benchmarks to challenge other leaders to follow godly examples of genuine styles of leadership in government. Our country needs godly leaders today in this changing political climate, where men and women possess Gods wisdom. To help serve the people at this highest level to produce a sound economic system, prudence management of resources, eradicating corruption in government and in-still competence delivery of service in the public service system of the nation. The CGC can offer its sons and daughters for the top tasks. People who are simply born to lead and serve people with their hearts.

The ministry to Israel must be in the very DNA of Cornerstone Gateway Church. If Jesus is ever going to come back the Jews must be prepared and ready for his return. Our ministry to the Jewish people will not cease but must be fuelled to flame by the work of the Holy Spirit.

CGC will continue to raise money to support the Jews Aliyah program through Ebenezer Operation Exodus and Shalom Israel Singapore and other organizations in their support mission work to Israel.

So far, we have by the grace of God raised substantial amount of money for mission work of Israel.
