Developing holistic biblical leadership cultures rooted in spirituality and giftedness.

Our Mission

Our vision is that CHORD will serve to develop diverse team leadership through the roles of elder, teacher, and evangelist in both current congregational contexts and for the next generation.

Our Vision

At CHORD, our mission is to develop holistic biblical leadership cultures rooted in spirituality and giftedness that nurture and mature faith communities towards fullness in Christ in both current and next generation collaborative contexts.

He himself granted that some are apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until all of us come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ.

Ephesians 4:11-13

Teleios Journal

The Apostle Paul used this word, teleios, to state his purpose for writing to the churches in Colossae, Laodicea, and Heirapolis, “It is he (Christ) whom we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone in all wisdom, so that we may present everyone mature (teleios) in Christ” (Colossians 1:28).

This verse serves as the mission statement of the Teleios Society and the Teleios Journal. Teleios prays that this journal “may present everyone teleios in Christ.”
