The Mission of the Lord's Church, at its core, has four primary elements:
1. We, as a congregation and individually, are to be engaged in Evangelism. Matt 28: 18-20 - "And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, 'All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spiri
t, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Mark 16: 15 - 16 - "And He said to them, 'Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.
2. We, as a congregation and individually, are to be engaged in Worship. John 4: 23-24 - "...the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."
3. We, as a congregation and individually, are to be engaged in Benevolence. Rom 15: 26 - "For it pleased those from Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints who are in Jerusalem."
1 Timothy 6: 17-19 - "Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share, storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life."
4. We, as a congregation and individually, are to be engaged in Edification.
1 Cor 14: 26 - "How is it then, brethen? Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.".
