PHILOSOPHY OF MISSIONS
Living out the Great Commission is a high priority at Grace Baptist Fellowship, and we are committed to supporting the dissemination of the Gospel message throughout the world.
Why Missions?
- To fulfill the Great Commission of Christ (Mt. 28:19-20, Mark 16:15, Jn. 20:21, Luke 24:46-49, Acts 1:8, Acts 26:16-18)
- To share Christ’s heart for the world (John 3:16, Mt. 9:36-38, Mt. 18:10-14)
- To minister to the totality of human need (Mt. 10:42, Mt. 25:31-46, Luke 16:19-31)
- To save men and bring them to the knowledge of God (Rom. 10:13-15, I Cor. 9:19-23, Jude 22-23)
- To obey Christ by confessing Him to the world (Mt. 10:32-33, Mt. 25:41-46, I John 4:2-3)
