God’s Vision for CHBC: 3 Piers, 3 Pillars, and 3 Purposes
3 Pillars: Biblically-Modeled; Mission Minded; Multi-Cultural
Why does the church exist? Ultimately the church exists for the glory of God. Romans 15:6 says, “so that with one accord you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” The church exists by God and for God. Mark Dever has said, “The proper ends for a local congregation’s life and actions are the worship of God, the edification of the church, and the evangelization of the world. These three purposes in turn serve the glory of God.”
Those purposes ought to sound familiar. When we say the church is to be Mission-Minded, we do not mean we should be focused on mission trips, mission giving, or missionaries. We think all of that is particularly important, because it is part of the way the church serves the glory of God. The mission is that – to serve the glory of God. We accomplish the mission by exalting Christ, equipping believers, and extending the gospel to the ends of the earth.
By His Grace and For His Glory,
Pastor Mark
