Commitment to plant healthy churches. (Criteria: If the missionary were suddenly called away, would there be godly Taiwanese men in place to continue to lead the church? Are they able to support and govern themselves according to the Bible?)
委身於植立健康的教會 (准則: 若宣教士蒙呼召離去，是否有敬虔的台灣弟兄們來帶領教會? 他們是否能按著聖經支持並管理自己?)

Though we might share resources with other Christians and denominations, we commit to only plant reformed presbyterian churches.
我們雖然可能會與其他基督徒與宗派分享資源，但我們委身於只植立改革宗長老會

Principle of plurality of elders in the church: Commitment to develop functioning church sessions in church plants balanced by the commitment to not be hasty in laying on of hands. (2 Timothy 2:2, Titus 1:5)
