Carolinas Cornerstone is on a mission. Local churches today are constantly being pulled in a million different directions. With so many programs, needs, and decisions to make, it can be easy for churches to become inward-focused. But the essence of the church, both historically and biblically, is outward-facing. A mission-minded church does not just serve its own members but actively engages with the world around it, fulfilling the command of Christ to make disciples of all nations. (Matthew 28:19-20). Being missions-minded is more than just sending money overseas or planning annual mission trips. It is a complete approach to church life that permeates every aspect of a congregation's DNA, from its worship services to its youth programs, community outreach, and partnerships with global mission efforts.
God is on a mission to redeem his people from all nations for his glory. He is the ultimate Sender, the one who sends his Son as the Savior of the world and, in turn, sends workers into the harvest. The active participation of local congregations in mission work is a vital component of church life for several key reasons: obedience to Scripture, building a sending pipeline, providing sustainable support and fulfilling the Body of Christ. The World Needs Good News! We are called to share our stories with others. Missions are part of our identity. Not only do people need the good news we have, but missions are part of our identity in Christ. Missions are part of our faith. Proclaiming the Gospel is not important because we are commanded to do it. God uses us to bring the good news of Jesus to those who need a Savior. It is rooted in the identity God gave us, and it comes hand in hand with our faith in Christ. Whether at home or abroad, mission work can be daunting, but our all-powerful Lord is with us as we live out our God-given identity and faith. Make Every Day Count!
