Goals and Belief Statement
- The goal of Tres Dias is to inspire believers to return to their home churches revitalized to take on leadership roles.
- Tres Dias believes that the key to the successful Christian walk lies in small group sharing: The periodic gathering of small groups of friends for mutual sharing and accountability. (In Tres Dias lingo, Share Groups are called “Reunion Groups”).
- There are no secrets in Tres Dias. The weekend activities are guided by the previously noted “Essentials of Tres Dias” which is posted for public viewing on the International Tres Dias Website (www.tresdias.org).
- The process is quite simple: While respectfully downplaying those things that divide us, Tres Dias attempts to remove denominational barriers by focusing on those things that unite us:
- The Triune God
- The unconditional love of God
- The belief that salvation is a gift of God’s grace received through personal faith in Jesus Christ
As this movement continues to grow, we pray that it will continue to be faithful to God’s Spirit. May we be among the Christian leaders God is using to revitalize His people.
MOST IMPORTANT: Although Tres Dias is a powerful tool which God has used consistently, it must NEVER take the place of, or be a substitute for worship in your own church. Rather, it should enhance your regular church commitment!
