Missions
Jesus calls His followers to go and make disciples
of all nations. The word disciple means
follower. So followers of Jesus are called to make other followers.
What a high calling! What a privilege! And the gospel is not
for select people groups. Jesus said to take the good news
of the gospel to all nations.
At Christs Church we want to be a church on a mission
to impact our world, in whatever way we can, for Jesus Christ.
We want to be on a mission here in Roswell and out into the
world in ever-widening circles. We also want to realize that
it all starts in our own hearts, and that we can do nothing
on our own.
At the core, almost everything we do should be under the
umbrella missions, if by that we mean impacting
our world for Christ. However, we do have a section of ministry
called missions, and we can break it down into
three major categories:
Daily Lifestyle - seeking to be Christs
ambassadors in our daily lives.
Short-term missions - sending teams from our church
to do one to two week special mission assignments. Past destinations have included
Mexico, Haiti, Romania, San Antonio, Los Angeles, Belize, Thailand and the Dominican
Republic.
Global missionary support - supporting full-time missionaries
financially. A list of missionaries we are currently supporting
