A new way of doing things

Circuit (801) Statement by the Ministers

We desire to embody Christ's love for the world.  However, we confess that we have not always achieved this, failing in our mandate to be "Together a Transforming Discipleship Movement".

 

We therefore commit ourselves to the following:

1.   To work together as a circuit and not as individual societies.

2.   To explore ways in which to share our rich resources and assets – be they human or financial.

3.   To create effective disciples for mission by encouraging our clergy and laity to use their unique gifting in relevant areas.

And so we call our churches and every one of our members to:

1.   Understand our discipleship identity by embracing the Mission Imperatives of the MCSA, which are:

a.   Spirituality

b.   Evangelism and Church Growth

c.    Justice and Service

d.   Human and Economic Development and Empowerment

e.   Education and Christian Formation

2.   Explore ways in which to overcome our insularity by working together for increased efficiency

3.   To strive together to be agents of change and transformation.
