MISSIONS
We believe that it is the privileged responsibility of the saved to witness by life and by word to the truths of Holy Scripture and to seek to proclaim the Gospel to all mankind (Matt. 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; Romans 1:14-16; 2 Corinthians 5:19, 20). We believe that local churches have the central and primary role in missions. We believe in supporting prayerfully and financially the spreading of the Gospel and the establishment of local churches at both home and abroad, and that believers considered for missionary activities should reflect a godly walk and service for the Lord, be doctrinally sound, be directed by the Holy Spirit, be confirmed by their local church leadership, and be sent out by their local home church. (Acts 13:1-5; 16:1-3; Philippians 4:14-18; Romans 15:24) We believe that no parachurch organization should usurp the authority of the local church leadership to which each missionary is accountable. We believe that any parachurch organization is secondary and should be of service to local churches and their mission, not vice-versa (Acts 14:26-28; 1 Timothy 3:15; Hebrews 13:7, 17).
