Clarifying Purposes (MCN)
Our Purpose*:
to inspire and support members of our Evangelical church community
as we seek to engage effectively as salt and light in the larger secular world, through:
-
- Careful reflection and analysis of trends/issues of concern
- Consultative relationships with individuals, ministries, and think tanks
- Refinement of our self-awareness of who we are, and ought to be, as Kingdom People.
* As currently proposed
Our statement above evolved out of our early core documents first shared with others in December, 2023, which included:
Purposes of networking in interest of strengthening Christian social involvement
- Promote connections with Christians to engage in deeper reflection and careful analysis of current trends/issues affecting Christians and our witness in society.
- Promote strengthening of Christian insight and communicative effectiveness through sharing of resources from quality sources.
- Promote support of non-partisan groups and activities that seek to enhance the flourishing of our larger communities in ways consistent with a quality Christian worldview
- Promote quality consultations in giving support and guidance to individuals, groups, and ministries on public engagement on issues of concern.
- Help clarify deeper understanding of current social concerns along with relevant scriptural teaching to promote a more robust “missional church.”
