Philosophy of Ministry
This Philosophy of Ministry revolves around doing the job that God has called His believers to do. All believers have been called to be Ambassadors for Christ (2 Cor. 5:20), defenders of the faith (Phil. 1:7), and servants to Christ's people (2 Cor. 4:5). Therefore we are all to be in the Ministry.

This combination of local and universal church make up the body of Christ.
The reason that the church exists is to express the great commandments of loving God and your neighbor (Matt. 22:37-40) by applying the great commission (Matt. 28:18-20).
If this happens, then the church will be making disciples of all nations through evangelism, baptism and teaching. The church will be helping the people who...
