The Mandate
To Change The Lives That Will Change The World
Matthew 28:18-20
And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All
authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. "Go therefore and
make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and
of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I
have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the
age." Amen. Every
church has a mandate to carry out the great Commission, which we believe is a
call to:
| - |
Walk in the authority and
power of Jesus Christ, in a manner that is strategically offensive (Matthew 16:17-20) |
| - | Make
disciples of all nations, which we interpret as a mandate to lead in every area
of human endeavor such as education, politics, commerce etc. |
| - | Model
obedience to God in a manner that is publicly and privately consistent |
| - | Defend
the uncompromised Word of God | |
- | Build
institutions that will have impact over time | |
