WHO WE ARE

ABOUT PROJECT 9:23

THE ORIGIN

THE STORY BEHIND THE MISSION

Project 9:23 was born from a conviction that the modern church has too many spectators and not enough soldiers. Too many men sitting in pews on Sunday and living defeated lives Monday through Saturday.

Luke 9:23 is the most direct, unfiltered call Jesus ever made: deny yourself, take up your cross daily, and follow Me. Not once. Not when it's convenient. Daily. That's the standard. That's the mission.

We started with a handful of men who were tired of playing it safe. Men who wanted more than a Bible study — they wanted a brotherhood forged in the fire of accountability, adventure, and authentic pursuit of Jesus. What began as a small hiking group became a movement.

Today, Project 9:23 is a discipleship ministry calling men to lead their families, serve their churches, and transform their communities — one cross-carrying disciple at a time.

OUR MISSION

To call men into authentic discipleship through biblical truth, brotherhood, accountability, worship, service, and adventure — equipping them to lead their families, churches, and communities by following Jesus daily.

OUR VISION

A generation of men who are done with passive faith — men who carry their cross daily, disciple others boldly, and transform every sphere of influence they touch for the glory of God.

WHAT WE STAND ON

CORE VALUES

BIBLICAL AUTHORITY

Scripture is our foundation. Every teaching, decision, and direction flows from the Word of God.

AUTHENTIC DISCIPLESHIP

We don't do surface-level faith. We pursue radical obedience to Christ in every area of life.

BROTHERHOOD

Men were never meant to walk alone. We are stronger together, sharpening one another.

SACRIFICIAL SERVICE

Following Jesus means serving others. We lead by laying down our lives for our brothers.

BOLD FAITH

We refuse to be passive. We step into the battle, trust God in the storm, and stand firm.

MULTIPLICATION

Every disciple becomes a disciple-maker. The mission doesn't end with us — it multiplies.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

STATEMENT OF FAITH

We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God.

We believe in one God, eternally existent in three persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.

We believe that salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone.

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.

We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
