Our journey towards success in the mission of the church begins in the secret place of holy communion — a life marked by Bible study, meditation, and prayer. Our Church leaders remind us to engage in mission effectively, but we must first “grow into spiritually mature disciples.
Communion with God. Our vision is sharpened, our hearts are aligned with His, and our lives are empowered by His presence in a close communion with God. This inward relationship is not optional but foundational. Without it, our mission becomes a duty rather than a devotion.
Identity in Christ. We do not simply belong to a denomination, but to the remnant church. This church embraces Christ-centered beliefs with special emphasis on the church’s characteristic and unique doctrines. Our identity in Christ is expressed by strict adherence to all of God's commandments.
Unity Through the Holy Spirit. Church members embracing worldwide church unity in the body of Christ through biblical truth as understood by Seventh-day Adventists, led by the Holy Spirit. True unity is not uniformity, but it means our hearts beat in one rhythm of mission, despite our differences in color, language, and culture; our gaze is upward to Christ; our hands reach outward in service; and our voices declare the good news of salvation through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Mission for All. “Paul Doughlas, General Conference Treasurer, said, “We have work to do. Everyone is called to serve with or without academic degrees. Each dedicated person has the light to do this work, and we do not have much time to do the work. The “GC I will go priorities” describes “Mission for All” as the call for each member to engage in personal and public proclamation of the everlasting gospel in both online and offline settings to every nation, tribe, language, and people.
A Call for Action. As church leaders, delegates, and members, let us commit ourselves to these vital missional GC priorities. Let our communion with God become our hallmark in a fractured world. And let mission for all become our lifestyle and legacy. May our identity in Christ and unity through the Holy Spirit be evident so that our mission becomes unstoppable.
