“Go into all the world.”
Mark 16:15
Mission
To share the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ through word and deed. Encourage and equip followers of Christ, through the power of the Holy Spirit, to utilize their spiritual gifts at their maximum capacity. And use our gifts to serve one another.
Mark 16:15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.”
Acts 1:8 “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.“
John 13:12-17 “When He had washed their feet and put on his outer garments and resumed his place, He said to them, “Do you understand what I have done to you? You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you. Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.”
“Grow up in every way.”
Ephesians 4:15
Vision
Growing in the knowledge and wisdom of our Lord Jesus Christ. Modeling and teaching God’s commands to the next generation. Reaching the overlooked, overwhelmed, and undervalued in our local, neighboring, national, and international communities around the world.
Ephesians 4:15-16 “Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.”
Deuteronomy 6:5-9 “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.”
“Keep a close watch on yourself.”
1 Timothy 4:16
Expectations for The Church
We who have been entrusted with the gospel have been empowered with the Holy Spirit to carry out the will of God. It is crucial to the Body that our words line up with our actions. And if there is any sin, we have the gift of repentance, and He is faithful to forgive us.
1 Timothy 4:15-16 “Practice these things, devote yourself to them, so that all may see your progress. Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers.”
2 Timothy 4:1-2 “I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching.”
