God’s Vision for CHBC: 3 Piers, 3 Pillars, and 3 Purposes
3 Purposes: Equip Believers, Exalt Christ, and Extend the Gospel
15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation,” (Mark 16:15). The Lord Jesus Christ commanded the church to take the gospel to the ends of the earth. What a glorious responsibility. At CHBC we embrace the Great Commission from our Lord in several ways.
Local ministry that is gospel-centered. Sunday School leadership is regularly reminded to expect unbelievers to be present and to make sure Christ is the central hero of every passage of Scripture which is taught. AWANA is a means of outreach on a weekly basis to children. Vacation Bible School is an annual attempt to evangelize children in our community. Student Worship on Wednesdays is discipleship oriented, but always calling students to trust in Christ. Language Learners is a weekly ministry to reach those who are seeking help with the English language, as a means to introduce unbelievers to the gospel. Other outreach ministries occur like Project Angel Tree, and community ministry efforts in which the desire is to intersect unbelievers with the gospel.
Partnering with frontline ministries that reach the unloved and unwanted is another way CHBC is part of obeying the command to preach the gospel to all creation. Supporting the ministry of pregnancy centers, prison ministries, displaced children, mothers in crisis, and addiction recovery spreads the gospel in our community outside the walls and direct reach of CHBC.
Supporting the Cooperative Program of the Southern Baptist Convention allows us to obey the Great Commission by supporting missionaries who serve North America, as well as every other continent on earth. Every person who tithes to CHBC is also supporting the preaching of the gospel to all of creation.
Providing opportunities for members to go on short term mission trips is another way CHBC attempts to fulfill the call to global missions. This year we will help send people into OKC, to Belize, to Mexico, and to Utah. Pray for God to raise up these short-term missionaries, as well as to call out some to make it a full-time pursuit.
This samples the way CHBC is fulfilling the purpose of Extending the Gospel to our neighbors and the nations. Thank you, Capitol Hill, for being a church on mission at all times. This Sunday is March Forth Sunday. We will celebrate the gospel focus of the mission outside the walls of CHBC.
By His Grace and For His Glory,
Pastor Mark
