A Church’s Mission: The Purpose Of Church At The Mission

Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on May 15, 2011

Jesus was sent by the Father and Jesus then sent His disciples. How does Jesus’ calling connect with the church’s calling? How does God use the unique character of a local church to impact its community for the gospel?

Let’s consider the purpose of Church at the Mission today? Why are we here? What is the mission of Church at the Mission? Our mission, why we are here and what we should be doing, is not something that we come up with ourselves. Who is the head of this church. It’s not me. It’s not Rick Tobias. ...read more

They have their own reasons – some of them well-intentioned, and some of them selfish – but the truth is that God does ...read more
