We the people of the Church of God, united as a visionary community of believers, are committed to obeying the charge to the Church to go everywhere and to share with everyone the good news of God's plan of redemption and abundant life in Jesus Christ.
Therefore, We Will:
- EMBRACE Prayer—The Heartbeat of the Church: Pray for workers to be sent into the harvest, for workers already in the harvest, and for the Holy Spirit to empower workers to reap the harvest. "Then he said to his disciples, The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field" (Matthew 9:37-38, NIV).
- RESPOND to the challenge of the Great Commission—The Solution: Embrace Theology—The foundation of the Commission; Connecting—The Key to the Commission; Converting—The Heart of the Commission; Discipleship—The Challenge of the Commission; Equipping—The Task of the Commission; Empowering—The Dynamic of the Commission; The Solution—Commitment to the Commission (Matthew 28:19-20).
-
ENGAGE in The Quest for Trust—The Fulcrum of the Future: Display the characteristics of uncompromising convictions in Christian witness; model sterling integrity in forming relationships with the unchurched; and stand accountable for fulfilling responsibilites in spreading the good news. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths" (Proverbs 3:5-6, NKJV).
