Mission
In
each church we plant there will be three basic steps—"mission
chapters."
Chapter
1: Connecting the City to Christ through…
Worship. Our worship services are designed to glorify God, build up
those who believe, and challenge and help those who doubt
or seek.
Community
Groups. The backbone of Grace Seattle is our growing network
of small groups and ministry teams, in which face-to-face
friendships and caring develop.
Church
Life Ministries. Hospitality, parties, events, women's ministry,
etc. are designed to enable new people to develop relationships
and enable believers to relate to one another as family.
Chapter
2: Building Christians into Servant-leaders through…
Caring
Ministries. Through Community Groups and
(eventually) our
Diaconate, we hope to provide a nurturing context
for spiritual
growth.
Discipling
and Leadership Development. Through Community Groups, Grace
U classes, and mentoring relationships, our goal
is to
•
help
new Christians mature into servant-leaders,
•
identify
and involve emerging leaders in apprentice relationships,
and
•
nurture
and support existing leaders in their ministries.
Prayer Ministries.
We must undergird all our ministries and strategies with prayer
and reliance upon God's grace. We must gather in groups for
prayer to seek God's presence and praise him for what he has
done.
Coordination
Ministries. Sunday Ministries, Administration, Communication,
and Finance. Through these ministries, we will support
the
overall work of the church by matching resources (people,
skills, and finances) with opportunities for service.
Chapter
3: Releasing Servant-leaders within the City through…
Social
Renewal Ministries. Partnering with mercy
and community development
ministries to bring healing, justice, and
reconciliation
to the poor and oppressed of the city.
Church
Renewal Ministries. Evangelism, church planting,
and missions.
We don't want to simply grow our church here in Seattle,
but reproduce it here and around
the world.
