The Twelve Missional Fields
Our essence is defined by our mission; it's a reflection of our identity rather than merely an action we perform. This intrinsic nature compels us to act generously, acknowledging that each individual has something valuable to contribute to the greater good—generosity is the core principle that binds our community. Our mission is woven into the fabric of everyday life; our love for our city is expressed through the establishment of a church that operates as a prayerful family, actively engaging in mission in all aspects of our daily existence.
We view our mission as a response to divine grace, recognizing that a true comprehension of such grace naturally inspires contribution. Finally, mission is about partnership, embodying the collaborative spirit instilled in us as bearers of our creator's image, designed to undertake missions collectively.
Each missional field represents a significant social issue or area of human need where you are invited into your field 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.
