When we use the word “mission” we are referring to the Gospel work that Christ gave the church to accomplish. This work consists of proclaiming the Good News of salvation in Jesus to sinners at home and around the world. Those who die apart from responding in faith to the Gospel will perish in an eternal hell; therefore, we are committed to assuring this Gospel, which has saved us, is “proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations.”
- A desire to be obedient to the commands of God
- A desire for the Glory of God among all peoples
- A belief that God has children in every tribe, tongue and nation
- A love for the lost and a desire to see them thrive in relationship with God and with others
- A conviction that local churches are God’s appointed means of carrying the Gospel to the ends of the world
