Our Goal, Mission and Ministries
Goal: To proclaim the gospel of
Jesus Christ. The gospel is the message that God is reconciling the world to himself and
offering forgiveness of sin and eternal life through Jesus Christ. This is a goal
Christians everywhere share.
Mission:
"Living and Sharing the Gospel"
We
are committed to living and sharing
the
good news of what God has done through Jesus Christ.
The church seeks to fulfill this mission by:
- Building healthy, Christ-centered congregations
that are sanctuaries
of worship, friendship, and nurturing pastoral care.
- Providing sound biblical teaching
through congregations, media, and
personal outreach in relevant, meaningful forms for people of diverse
backgrounds and ages.
- Expressing the love of God
to all through the work of the Holy Spirit
in our lives.
- Equipping people for Christian service
so that the gospel can be
known, understood, and experienced.
- Sharing in the work of the gospel with the broader Christian community,
acknowledging
that we can learn from one another and that Christ’s love goes beyond
denominational boundaries.
Our U.S. Church Administration &
Development department has this mission: "Making Disciples Who Make Disciples."
We are committed to building and equipping pastoral leadership and congregations
of Grace Communion International to make disciples who make
disciples.
We seek to fulfill this mission by:
- Providing for the building and equipping of
pastoral supervisors
who can teach, train, mentor, lead and supervise pastors.
- Providing pastors and congregations with resources
that build and
equip them for the Great Commission.
- Providing and maintaining proper staffing
of the denominational
office, supervisors, and pastors.
- Practicing good stewardship
with all departmental resources.
