We, the
members of Sawyer Highlands Church, recognize that God, Creator of
and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, clearly revealed in Scripture
His plan to disciple all peoples. We call his plan missions. Being
Mandated by the Lord, we have no choice but to be faithful. His
supreme desire is to gather quickly the redeemed from every kindred,
tribe, tongue, people and nation.
The
following verses are irrefutable evidence of the primacy of missions
for our local congregation and the whole earthly church of Jesus
Christ:
Gen 12:2-3; Is. 49:6; Matt. 28:19-20; Acts 1:8, Rev. 5:9-10
We believe each Christian is personally accountable for carrying out
God's purpose. We also commit ourselves to the truth that SHC is
corporately responsible to carry out God's purpose among the
nations.
We, therefore by God's grace, commit ourselves to work diligently
and sacrificially for the fulfillment of God's revealed purpose and
plan for teaching people of every nation and tribe.
