Mission

"We exist to call all people to glorify God, enjoying Him completely."

The mission of Bend City Church has 2 main points.

1) The first main point is that every person was created for two purposes, without exception. Every person was created to glorify God (Isaiah 43:6-7, 1 Cor 10:31) and to enjoy Him completely (John 15:10-11). Although each person could have a different gifting, personality, calling, life standing, or vocation, these two purposes are common to all men and women.

2) The second main point is that God has called His people to call others to fulfill these purposes in God. Jesus commissioned his disciples in what we call the Great Commission to make disciples of all nations, baptizing in the name of the Father, Son, and Spirit, and teaching them to obey all He commanded.

Put these 2 points together and you get the mission of Bend City Church. It is our hope that the community of believers that makes up the church be on this mission; that Bend City Church would be a missional community.
