Purpose of Ministry
To serve and glorify God in obedience to His commands, by lifting up His name, and by revealing His love to a lost and hurting world. To meet the highest priority need of every person to know Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Savior. To meet the fundamental need of the human spirit to know that someone cares. To encourage every person to find a tangible place of ministry in the body of Christ, so that each part does its share. To encourage the use of gifting and skills to fulfill a call through serving others. To help every person come to a place of wholeness through a relationship with Jesus Christ. Core Values
Prayerfulness – Dedicated to seeking the will of God in establishing our vision, mission and goals, and develop these areas in what we believe is a faithful response to his prompting. Faithfulness – Committed to faithfully fulfilling the primary call upon our lives to worship God through adoration, service and reflection on a daily basis. Reflection – Committed to a lifestyle and ministry that takes the time to reflect on the character of God illustrated in His Word, His People and His Creation. Flexibility – We recognize that as time passes social change inevitably occurs. We are committed to remaining flexible in our ministry so that the unchanging message of God’s love for His World can remain fresh and relevant. Furthermore we recognize and affirm the ideal that ministry is tending a garden rather servicing a machine and as such every ministry situation is unique. Generosity – We seek to reflect the generosity of God in all that we do. Above all other things the individuals who make up GOSPEL OUTBREAK are committed to seeking God and faithfully following in the direction He leads. Vision
