Ten Main Things 1.
God has an end goal for humanity, that all
nations worship Him. 2.
This goal is a major theme of Scripture. 3.
The Great Commission – the evangelization and
discipleship of all nations – is the means to this goal. 4.
The Church is God’s primary agent to carry
out the Great Commission in this age. 5.
The Great Commission is the primary mission
of every church. 6.
This mission belongs to the whole church. 7.
The Great Commission includes three kinds of
people:
People like us nearby
People unlike us nearby
People unlike us far away 8.
The congregation is responsible to reach the
people they can reach. 9.
“Missions” is primarily the church’s efforts
to help fulfill the Great Commission among people beyond the reach of the
local congregation. 10. The church’s missions
team has two arenas of responsibility: external (deployment) and internal
(mobilization).
