Our Missionary Focus

Building interdependence and unity among all of God's children

Communities can stretch across boundaries and borders, across cultures and languages, while providing mutual support and collective dreams for the future. By weaving our lives together with those of international partners, we find new ways to nourish each other's ministries

mutuality

Walking in hope with others in God's mission

Mutuality means sharing in the visions of partners instead of trying to guide them, and listening instead of lecturing. International partners offer unique projects and programs to serve the needs of their communities as they see them, and Christian Family Gospel Ministries offers support of these visions, just as international partners in turn support the work of our denominations in the United States and Canada.

When partners voice their concerns and take action to confront injustice in their communities, Christian Family Gospel Ministries  joins with them in advocacy. Through statements, Bible studies, denominational resolutions, letter writing campaigns and educational events, we work to amplify the voices that often go unheard in our uneven world. Embodying reconciling relationships with God, humanity, and creation

Peace is more than the absence of war and violence, it provides a vision for finding new ways of encountering and engaging with the other. Joining with partners whose communities have faced decades of brutality, we lift up opportunities for reconciling relationships with God, humanity and creation. Manifesting God's love by living in intentional, committed relationships

Presence provides a bold vision of togetherness. In many cases the most powerful witness we can offer partners, is the willingness to share personally in their times of challenge and of joy. We are also grateful for the presence international partners offer the Church in the United States and Canada, as they share their experiences and understandings of God.
