Our Mission
To bring people to Jesus and membership
in his family, develop them to Christ-like
maturity, and equip them for their ministry
in the church and life mission in the world,
in order to magnify God’s name.

I. Our Mission Ministries
Jesus said, “As the Father has sent me,
even so send I you” (John 20:21). This
sending occurs each time we give our tithes
and offering through our church. Our gifts
through the Cooperative Program broaden
our reach to enhance our witness to 131
countries, beginning here in our own state.
Our church has a part in Associational
missions as we give to support mission
ministries closer to home. Local mission
projects-the food bank, nursing home and
jail ministries-are supported not only by our
gifts but by our involvement.
II. Our Pastoral Ministries
Luke recorded that Jesus sent out the
seventy-two witnesses. He stated that
“the worker deserves his wages”
(Luke 10:7). God has led our pastor to this
church to equip the saints for ministry.
Through preaching, teaching, and
counseling, we are reminded of God’s
eternal care over us.

III. Our Christian Education Ministries
“It was he (Christ) who gave - some to pastors
and teachers, to prepare God’s people for work
of service, so that the body of Christ may be built
up - attaining to the whole measure of the
fullness of Christ” (Eph. 4:11-13) Christian
growth is a key to deepening our effective service
to Christ. By providing trained leadership, Bible
study resources, Vacation Bible School, and a
strong focus on missions, we help Christians
grow toward mature disciples. (If you have a
Minister of Education, place the position in this
section)

IV. Our Music Ministry
The psalmist encourages God’s people to “Sing
to the Lord a new song, for he has done
marvelous things” (Psa. 98:1) Music is a vital
part of our worship experience each week. We
are blessed with trained and talented musicians
and committed laypersons whom God has
placed among us. These musicians help us
regularly express love, devotion, praise, and
thanks to our Savior.

V. Our Supportive Ministries
“Day after day, in the temple courts and from
house to house, they never stopped teaching and
proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the
Christ” (Acts 5:4). Ministry is a never-ending
process. Materials are needed, supplies are
purchased, meetings attended, communications
sent out - all with the purpose of keeping our
membership informed and trained to do the
work of the ministry. Some of these activities
complement all the ministries of our church,
while others support a specific activity.

VI. Our Building and Grounds Ministries
“...and I have built the temple for the name of
the Lord, the God of Israel” (1 Kings 8:20) Our
church building has been erected in honor of
God and as a gathering place for all who would
come to learn from Him. Our building also
offers a comfortable and convenient place
where we can be equipped to share Christ’s
Good News with a lost world.
