Overall Mission Statement |
In
accordance with Ephesians 4: 11-12 And He Himself
gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some
evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the
equipping of the saints for the work of ministry,
for the edifying of the body of Christ…we will seek
to provide:
1.
Continuous discipleship of the Body leading
to a Christian life which bears the fruit of
the Spirit and reflects the character of
Christ.
2.
Continual training of the leaders to take
their place in the Body of Christ by the
stirring up of the God-given spiritual gifts
within them and affording opportunities for
them to minister in those gifts.
3. The acquiring of and the sending forth of
laborers into God’s fields of harvest.
Our
Mission
To enable armed forces
personnel and their families to effectively
live a Christian Life in the global military
environment of the 21st century.
|
Our
Vision
To reach and involve
armed forces personnel in a Cornelius style
ministry. From the time they leave the
recruiter's office, throughout all
deployments, until finally returning to
continued fruitful service in their home
church. |
Our
Core Values
The Ministry to the
Military exists to establish and maintain
CARING New Testament fellowships, under the
auspices of the Church of God, in
COOPERATION with the military chaplaincy, in
order to REACH ALL PEOPLE for Christ and to
TRAIN lay leaders for Christian service.
|
| Our
ministry should be evaluated, based upon our
adherence to the following core values: |
|
CARING:
Expressing the love of
Christ in practical ways – to others in our
fellowship and in the community where God
has called us to serve. |
|
COOPERATION:
We seek to be a
compliment to the ministry and services of
our military communities. We especially
desire to work along side of, instead of in
competition with our military chaplains. It
is our hope we can be seen as an extension
of the Command Religious Program where we
are stationed. |
|
REACHING:
Through
evangelism – to reach the unsaved
soldier, sailor, marine, and airman;
outreach – to reach those taken from
their home church who have not reconnected
where they're stationed; and discipleship
– for those who have responded to our
reaching. |
|
DIVERSITY:
All People; In
the body of Christ there is no preference
between race, rank, sex, marital or
socio-economic status. Our fellowship should
reflect the people and needs of our
community. |
|
TRAINING:
We are on an assembly
line of recruiting, training and deploying
workers for the Kingdom of God and His
church around the world. Folks involved with
our fellowship should learn to worship,
serve and lead – whether in a military
chapel, deployed to a war zone or involved
in a local church. |
