Gather, Glorify

Every church has a mission statement. Well, at least they are told they are supposed to have a mission statement. You will notice that the mission statements of Bible-believing churches look very similar to each other. That is because Jesus gave the church its mission statement in Matthew 28. It is Christ's desire that His church should proclaim his name, baptize His people, and teach them all that Jesus taught. The Church's purpose is to "get, gather and glorify." Our mission statement at Stone's Throw is to participate fully in God's mission and purpose as we introduce people to Jesus and mobilize them to change the world. This involves introducing new people into situations where they can hear about the Good News of Jesus, being purposeful in gathering the whole church together for kingdom building and discipleship, and glorifying God through worship that is of the Spirit and in truth.
