Mission Statement, Part 3: Multiply Disciples
The Church has always been part of God’s plan to reach the world with the good news of Jesus. And when we say “Church,” we mean the global church – the entirety of all of those who follow after Jesus. Not just the pastors, not just the missionaries… but everyone.
The problem is that we so easily buy into the lie that the only ones God can use are the talented, the charismatic, the smart, or the ones who get paid for ministry being their job. But the world is missing out when people take a backseat or disqualify themselves from taking part in the ways that God is moving.
The reality is that each and every follower of Jesus has been called to the places where God has them…
They have been equipped to carry the message that at one time pierced their heart, so that it can reach into others’ hearts too…
They have been gifted in unique ways and empowered with the same Spirit that empowered Jesus Himself…
We believe that it is time to remind people of their mission and their worth, so that the Church can reach the world with this message – a message that has never been so timely and so relevant.
At The Dwelling Church, we are committed to helping all believers become ambassadors of Jesus, capable of effectively articulating the gospel. We want to bring Jesus into our personal relationships and contexts, reach our neighborhoods and families and workplaces, and leverage our position as a church to seek renewal in our city and beyond.
