Foundations was born five decades ago in Sydney, Australia through a move of God where hundreds of young people were coming to faith through the ministry of Fusion, with little or no church experience and often complex lives.
Foundations was developed as an in-depth and strengthening discipleship pathway into a life of faith, spiritual discipline, healthy fellowship and missional service.
Since then Foundations has been equipping and releasing thousands of people all-around the world into Kingdom life and mission.
The goal of Foundations is to strengthen, equip and release God’s people into creative missional initiatives in fellowship with one another and in prayerful partnership with Him.
Foundations engages with the difficult battlegrounds of human life, such as our inner emotional world, our relationships with others, our commitment to God and our calling to be a light in this world with Him.
The Foundations journey is organised around four streams: Living with God, Living with Yourself, Living with Others and Living in the Kingdom. These streams wrestle with the reality of how we live faith in God in a real way in this messy world of human life and relationship and come out the other end partnering with God and each other in the work of building His kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.
Living With God
This stream digs deep into the word of God, exploring what He has revealed about Himself, what He cares about and how relationship with Him works.
Topics include: Faith, attributes of God, what God cares about, humans as the image of God, sin, forgiveness and grace, eternal life, restoring a relationship with God, partnering with God… and more.
Living With Others
This stream explores what it means to be a part of a dynamic human community and ways of working redemptively in the lives of others.
Topics include: Effective communication, listening, helping people grow, speaking truth in helpful ways, group dynamics, self awareness in groups and helping teams function well… and more.
Living With Yourself
This stream wrestles with the beautiful and hard truths of what it means to be a whole human being created in God’s image and invites us all on a journey of growth towards self awareness.
Topics include: Self concept and identity, the physical, psychological and spiritual aspects of our humanity, habits, self definition, attitudes and values… and more.
Living In the Kingdom
This stream equips small groups of friends to live missionally, partnering with God in His advancing Kingdom.
Topics include: Sharing your faith with others, working in missional teams, radical hospitality, ways of reaching out, the process of mission, stories of missional initiatives from around the world, practical mission outreach experience.
The aim of Foundations is to equip people practically with tools for a deepening personal connection with God, caring relationships with others, authentic personal growth, and experience of and confidence in mission. The Foundations adventure is not undertaken by sitting and absorbing information, but rather wrestling with a series of sharing times, dialogues, learning activities and practical experiences that help participants grow.
