The church's mission extends beyond its internal activities and care. It also has a critical external role, rooted in the Great Commission and the call to be a light to the world and salt of the Earth.
The love and unity within the church are powerful testimonies to the transformative power of the Gospel. The church's internal care and activity serve as a model for the broader society, reflecting the kingdom of God on earth.
Being a child of God does not bring about ease in the form of a painless life, but in the simplicity of trust: we are not the author of our faith, He is. We are not sustaining our own growth, He is. We are not earning His affection, He has already given it fully.
