The Gospel Challenge: This emphasis alone contrasts us most plainly from other local nonprofit ministries. We are explicitly Christian and evangelical, driven by gospel motives. We desire to be more intentional in evangelizing, training, and connecting people around the gospel of Jesus Christ locally, nationally, and internationally. We believe that without the gospel all else is vanity, so we desire to make the gospel central to all that we are and to all that we do.
Biblical Foundation: 2 Corinthians 4:1-6
“All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ…”
2 Corinthians 5:18-20a
