Missional Fields
Our mission reflects our new identity in Christ—it flows from who we are, not just what we do. We are ambassadors of reconciliation sent to represent Jesus’ Kingdom in all of life and reconcile everything and everyone back to God.
Each missional field represents a significant social issue or area of human need where you are invited to bring your missional contribution. The goal is to holistically address both spiritual and practical needs through coordinated initiatives, programs, and partnerships tailored to each targeted field. We created the Purpose Tool to help you discover your missional contribution - you can find it here: Purpose Tool
