Evangelical

 

We believe that the primary task of the church is the proclamation of the Gospel or (in Greek) evangel. The gospel literally means the "Good News" of God's love revealed with power in Jesus Christ. We are called to proclaim in word and deed the gospel of Christ's passion, and of the grace, love, and mercy extended to us through Christ. This is the central purpose of the church in daily and Sunday worship and of daily Christian life. We proclaim this to individuals, communities, institutions, governments and to the world at large. In this way, we serve as the "light to nations and the salt of the earth."
