Mission

Christ's Mission is Our Mission

All ministries, personnel, and resources of the World Church are focused on the whole mission of Jesus Christ through five life-changing, church-changing, and world-changing Mission Initiatives. 

Invite People to Christ

We are poised to share the peace of Jesus Christ with those who are waiting to hear the redeeming words of the gospel.  

"I WANT PEOPLE TO BE SURPRISED BY THIS SPIRIT THAT MOVES IN AND THROUGH US. I WANT TO BE SURPRISED BY THAT SPIRIT. MAY WE NEVER STOP INVITING PEOPLE TO EXPERIENCE THIS." 

BISHOP CARLA LONG

Abolish Poverty, End Suffering

We are poised to be Christ's hands and feet, reaching out through compassionate ministries that serve the poor and hungry and stop conditions that diminish the worth of persons. 

WE WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT WE ARE HERE TO COMFORT, SERVE, AND BLESS THE LIVES OF THOSE WHO HURT. 

Pursue Peace on Earth

We are poised to restore Christ's covenant of peace, even the Zion of our hopes. The hope of Zion will become reality when we live Christ's peace and generously share his peace with others. 

WE WANT TO BE UNITED WITH OTHERS IN SEEKING PEACE AND PROMOTING CIVIL DIALOGUE. WE WANT JUSTICE AND EQUALITY FOR ALL. 

Experience Congregations in Mission

We are poised to become congregations that are true and living expressions of Jesus Christ, woven together by the Spirit, and sent into the world as evangelistic witnesses, compassionate ministers, and justice and peacemakers.  

WE WANT TO FEEL CHRIST'S PEACE WHEN WE COME TOGETHER TO WORSHIP, AND TO HELP OTHERS FEEL IT WITH US. EACH OF US NEEDS TO FEEL GOD'S HEALING TOUCH. 

Develop Disciples to Serve

We are poised to equip men, women, and children to be true and living expressions of the life, ministry, and continuing presence of Christ in the world.  

WE WANT TO BE CHRIST'S HANDS IN HELPING OTHERS GROW IN DISCIPLESHIP AS WE GROW OURSELVES.
