Go therefore and make disciples of all nations
Matthew 28:19
In his book on missions, Let the Nations Be Glad (you can download a copy of this book for free at the link), John Piper wrote, "Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exists because worship doesn’t. Worship is ultimate, not missions, because God is ultimate, not man. When this age is over, and the countless millions of the redeemed fall on their faces before the throne of God, missions will be no more. It is a temporary necessity. But worship abides forever."
We want people to know the amazing, gracious, overwhelming love of Jesus Christ that not only meets us where we are, but transforms us into "a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light" (1 Peter 2:9).
We engage in missions and outreach not only here in our city of Battle Creek, but in our state, our nation, and internationally through both giving and going. Our Missions Team is active in seeking opportunities to proclaim the message of redemption while serving as the hands and feet of God.
