“The church, the blood-bought, Spirit-sealed people, exists to participate in the mission of God for the world build up believers to live more like Jesus.”

– Derwin Gray, “What is the Mission of the Church?”

How do you personally participate in the mission of the church?

“How do you proclaim who God is through your life?”

“How do you welcome new members as equals to your church community,” knowing that “the blood of Christ tears down ethnocentrism, classism and sexism and creates this new community of beauty, of oneness?”

“How do you speak out against evil in the world? And, more importantly, how do you embody the good that God wants for the world?”

“How do you equip other Christians to be conformed to the image of Jesus?”
