BEING THE CHURCH - to practically living out who WE are as the Body of Christ (Ephesians 4:11-16). In the church, we are able to practice our core value: “Deepening Relationships with God and One Another.” Being the Church is made of three commitments: (1) becoming more and more like Jesus Christ (discipleship); (2) belonging to each other in community (fellowship); and (3) regularly gathering for praise of our God (worship).
.
BLESSING THE WORLD - Refers to extending the love of Jesus Christ to others near and far. God has sent the church on mission to be a blessing to the peoples of the world (Genesis 12:1-3; Matthew 28:18-20). Blessing the World is made of three commitments: (1) serving people in our neighborhoods / towns (outreach); (2) sharing the good news of Jesus with those nearby (evangelism); and (3) sharing the good news of Jesus with those far away (missions).
