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
