Vision
We are called to share the peace of Jesus Christ with those waiting to hear the redeeming words of the gospel. As we become new in Christ, many will join us on a life-changing faith adventure. Together, we will share Christ’s peace through our witness, compassion, and pursuit of justice and peacemaking.
The following represents some of the ways your giving will support inviting people to Christ.
Baptize/Confirm Many New Members
When we share our faith and invite others to encounter the Living Christ, we help grow Community of Christ membership and support Christ's mission throughout the world.
- Fund congregational grants to support missionary events, projects, and programs
- Continue young-adult friendship clubs that develop disciples in countries where most Christian churches are resisted
- Offer missionary training
- Increase translation capacity to accommodate the growing need for language-specific and culturally appropriate resources
Open New Congregations
Your gift supports new congregations throughout the world that share Christ's peace with those who are searching for meaning and purpose in their lives.
- Create church planting teams in developed and developing nations around the world
- Duplicate exceptional church planting models
- Engage more young adults and young families in leadership ministry
- Multiply our congregations with specialized ministries that speak to Hispanic, African-American, and other specific communities
Launch the Church in New Nations
Scripture challenges us to share the gospel story with people around the world. The church has a presence in about 50 of the world's nearly 200 countries. Your gift helps establish the church in more nations.
- Establish Community of Christ presence in five more nations in the next three years.
