As we understand the Word of God, there is only one church on this earth: the Bride of Jesus Christ, who is preparing herself full of longing and devotion for the return of her Savior and Bridegroom. It is the family of God that lives and works together in love and unity – like a body made up of different members – hand in hand. It is distributed all over the world in small cells or local communities, some of which are networked and multiplying.
Mission of the municipality
The Bride of Jesus Christ
01
The one Plan of Salvation
This church has one vision, one goal: to complete God’s plan of salvation for mankind in the power of the Holy Spirit. Thus, it prepares the way for the return of its Lord. This is done by fulfilling the commission Jesus Christ gave her, “Make disciples of all nations,” through preaching the Gospel, baptizing in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and teaching to keep all that Jesus commanded. Those who thus come to faith and are discipled are added to the church of God and take their place in fulfilling the great Great Commission.
02
Everyone is a part & can contribute
It is this one goal, this one great mission, in which every member of the body should engage with the gifts and talents entrusted to him by God. Just as there is no superfluous part of a body without a task, so it is with the church. In the cooperation of all members, in mutual strengthening, edification and complementation, it moves steadily forward to occupy land and spread the kingdom of God.
