OUR MISSION GOAL:
Transformation.
__________

We want people of God to be transformed into disciples who bear witness to Jesus. Jesus calls us to make disciples of all nations, to be His witnesses to the ends of the earth, and to preach the good news of Jesus to all creation. We believe in investing our resources in the making of disciples.

OUR MISSION PHILOSOPHY:
“Live a life that begs the question.” – 1 Pet. 3:15
__________
Biblical Missions are disciples of Jesus making disciples who make disciples who make disciples. It involves sending disciples to meet the physical, spiritual, and emotional needs of people. Having no food on the table is a material problem. Your neighbor having no food on their table is a spiritual problem. See the need-meet the need!

OUR MISSION STRATEGY:
Partner. Prioritize.
__________
To meet the needs of people, we will partner with organizations and individuals who are uniquely designed and gifted to meet specific needs. Te people of Good Shepherd are encouraged to engage in varied missions of their choosing. As an church we believe we need to prioritize our mission efforts as Jesus did: first Local, then National, then International (Acts 1:8).
