What City Restoration is built to do
Move from inward formation to outward reconciliation.
City restoration carries our established Storehouse path into the city's public squares of business, where authentic disciples live out the ministry of reconciliation in the very business activity and assignment Jesus has given them.
THE Great commission
City restoration through ministers of reconciliation.
Authentic disciples, Covenant Partners of Christ, are ministers of reconciliation who have received the ministry of reconciliation. Their business activity is not their identity, and it is not their ultimate purpose. It is their assignment, their field of obedience, and the place where Jesus has given them gifts and anointing to participate with God Holy Spirit in the restoration of all things to Christ.
For that reason, the city's public squares of business are not secondary to the kingdom of Christ. They are one of the primary places where authentic disciples fulfill the same purpose for which the Father sent Jesus, carrying out predestined good works among the people within their companies' spheres of influence.
Visual pathway
Windows of Heaven Jesus' Storehouse, path moves from formation in the Owner/CEO to the company's consecration, from spiritual formation in the team to city restoration in the public squares of business.
Step 1
→
CEO
The owner/CEO is formed in covenant, authentic discipleship, and communion with God Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ’s CEOs Bible Institute begins by forming the CEO because leadership is the governing gate of the company.
Step 2
→
Company
The business is consecrated to Jesus Christ and reordered under His preeminence.
The company is no longer treated as the owner's property but as a possession of Christ's Kingdom, reordered for His glory, honor, and dominion.
Step 3
→
Team
The whole company community is gathered, equipped, and aligned through Living in Communion Company Fellowships.
Living in Communion Company Fellowships engage the whole business community, so the ministry of reconciliation is not confined to the owner/CEO.
Step 4
City Restoration
The formed company now operates as a ministry of reconciliation in the city's public squares of business throughout its sphere of influence.
The consecrated company extends Christ’s ministry of reconciliation into the city through every relationship, transaction, and marketplace assignment entrusted to it.
Biblical mystery
City Restoration is not framed as a new strategy, platform, or Christian business trend. It is framed as a biblical mystery that has been hidden from Christians in the marketplace in previous generations and is now being revealed and taught through Jesus Christ’s CEOs Bible Institute and Living in Communion Company Fellowships.
That revealed mystery is this: authentic disciples in consecrated companies are predestined for good works in the public squares of business, where they participate with God Holy Spirit making disciples and reconciling people and their business activities to Jesus Christ and in the restoration of all things to Jesus, for whom all things were created.
Jesus Christ's CEOs Posture
JC CEOs are not seeking permission to make Jesus Christ relevant in business or cities. We are seeking to lawfully obey the One to whom business already belongs, and to do so within the constitutional protections presently afforded in the United States public squares of business.
Constitutional framework
Today, this next phase is being implemented in the United States because it provides a constitutional framework for the free exercise of religion. That framework gives Christian CEOs and consecrated companies room to lawfully obey Jesus Christ in cities' public squares of business without surrendering their integrity, faith, or witness.
For that reason, participating in the restoration of all things as ministers of reconciliation in cities' public squares of business defines City Restoration. The United States is presented as the model for all other JC CEOs in every nation, while serving as the proving ground where this work can be openly ordered, lawfully practiced, and clearly taught.
Distinct purpose
What truly distinguishes Jesus Christ’s CEOs and their companies is not merely that they are Christians in business, or even that they include spiritual practices within a company rhythm. The distinction is that they understand themselves as ministers of reconciliation, fulfilling the ministry of reconciliation in the nation's public squares of business.
This is why their companies may enjoy Jesus’s authority and power over heaven and earth as The Ultimate Unfair Competitive Advantage! It is not a technique, a slogan, or a coaching outcome. It is the fruit of a company being restored to Christ’s preeminence and living and doing business according to the purpose for which Jesus gave His life on the cross.
A company may remain sincere, morally serious, and even spiritually active, yet still fail to understand its kingdom of Christ's purpose in the cities where it trades goods and services for a profit.
A company recognizes business as an assignment, reconciliation as a purpose, and participation with God Holy Spirit as the means by which city restoration advances in all nations' public squares of business.
Practical expression
City restoration in this framework does not begin with vague rhetoric. It begins when authentic disciples understand that their good works, their gifts, and their anointing have been assigned to the public squares of business, and that their daily business life is one of the places where the restoration of all things is worked out in practice, city by city.
Continue forming the team in communion with God Holy Spirit, shared discipleship, prayer, and practical obedience.
Engage customers, vendors, neighbors, and surrounding relationships as people and activities to be reconciled to Jesus Christ.
Operate faithfully, with clarity in speech, policy, care, service, and lawful witness, under the constitutional protections available in the nation.
As more CEOs, companies, and teams embody this same pattern, city restoration takes visible form through multiplied companies operating as ministries of reconciliation in the marketplace.
