Mission Criteria
To help make decisions on which mission activity/organization we should support as a church, the below criteria should apply. In developing this criteria the Elders fully recognize that each and every individual involved in our church life is on a mission from God to carry His message of salvation to a dark world wherever they reside and in whatever way they can – particularly in life style evangelism. Other entities worthy of our support should clearly demonstrate and have as their commitment:
- The proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ
- Teaching & making Disciples per Matthew 28:19/20
- Zeal to minimize administrative/operational expenses
- Be in concert with CBC’s doctrinal statement and goals. We require a copy of their doctrinal statement and the organization/person sign CBC’s to demonstrate agreement.
- Not focused on social gospel objectives
- Give us periodic reports and visits on activities and challenges/needs.
When the church chooses to support a mission it is expected and anticipated that we will not only give our monetary support but individuals in our congregation will also support it through prayers and fellowship.
