We are a church who desires to walk in the way of Jesus. That means we need to follow Him. This requires us to get involved in the mission of God. Mission is seen as a movement from God to the world; the church is viewed as an instrument for that mission. There is church because there is a mission, not vice versa. God leaves us here after He saves us for one purpose: so that we can do the good works that He created us in Christ Jesus to do.
