Statement of Identity and Purpose
God calls, equips, and sends the church to engage the world with the reconciling Gospel of Jesus Christ.
We are a community of disciples of Jesus,
a part of the Body of Christ,
covenanted together as congregations,
regional churches,
and a nationwide church body.
Gratefully responding to God’s initiatives and empowered by the
Holy Spirit, we commit ourselves and our resources
to calling, equipping, and sending the church to engage the world with the reconciling Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Why Global Companionship?
The goal of mission is not primarily aid (humanitarian assistance); it’s not even partnership. We engage in mission to establish friendships that lead to the formation of a new people in the world... If we are in Christ, we have become part of a new creation.
