Accomplishing the Mission
We exist to be an agency of God for evangelizing the world, to be a corporate body in which man may worship God, and to be a channel of God's purpose to build a body of saints, being perfected in the image of His Son, and to be a people who demonstrate God's love and compassion for all the world. (Our Historical Mission revised in 2013)
