CORE VALUES

What does missions mean to us?

It is the fulfillment of the Great Commission to go into all the world preaching and sharing the Good news that God loves humanity and has provided a way for relationship through salvation for all mankind in a cross-cultural way.

We understand that in order to accomplish the Great Commission we need a three-fold emphasis towards reaching the lost.

1. EVANGELISM: Spreading God's Word
It is reaching the heart of every tribe and people group on the earth. This includes Bible translation and distribution, church planting and outreaches in all areas.

2. TRAINING: Equipping and preparing Christians to reach others with the Gospel.
Understanding the tasks before us, mentoring, discipling and training are vital components towards our goal of seeing that all may come to know Him.

3. MERCY MINISTRIES: Demonstrating God's Love through practical assistance.
The Gospel must be accompanied by a loving, practical response to the needs of the poor and oppressed.

We further understand that missions, as being part of the greater commissioning of the church, carries the idea of a cross-cultural aspect. For where the church is called to the Great Commission at large; missions is that aspect that reaches across barriers. (Language, culture, social and geographical boundaries.) This is our response, reaching out to those around us (our Jerusalem), those near us (our Judea) and those far from us (the uttermost parts of the earth) with the love of Christ as a church family.
