MCN Common Themes and Commitments

[Under development.]

Why we focus on these…

  • we desire to be true to the Gospel of Christ
  • we promote discipleship, aspiring to model ourselves after Christ and follow His Way
  • we are concerned with the image of Christianity before the world (is it worthy of the Kingdom)
  • what is our core task of being part of the Mission of God?
  • we seek to draw people to Christ, through Word and Deed
  • we seek deeper understanding of the mindsets of those to whom we wish to minister the truth and love of God
