MISSION COMPONENTS

Empowered by the Holy Spirit, through prayer, we will plant churches and equip leaders to carry out the biblical mandate to make genuine disciples of all the peoples of the world, to the glory of Christ our Lord, Head of the church.

Gospel Spreading

Today leaders in the Church of God of Prophecy recognize that we have been called back to our earliest roots—to proclaim the Gospel to every man, woman, boy, and girl. This is our central mandate. We must build on the call of God to turn to the harvest, placing the Gospel once more at the heart of our vision.

Missionary Motivated

From the first minute of the first Assembly of this Church, the writer described how “strong men wept” when they thought of the lost people of the world dying without the knowledge of Jesus Christ. Therefore, together, we renew our covenant to carry the gospel to the ends of the earth.

Prayer Empowered

From our birth in the mountains of North Carolina, this Church realized that prayer was an essential element in her life and ministry, without which nothing of eternal significance could be accomplished. Therefore, we commit anew to pursue the empowering presence and person of the Holy Spirit.

Leadership-Equipping

From age to age in the history of this body, the understanding has developed, consistently, that to reach the lost and build the kingdom of our King, we must develop leaders on every continent. Therefore, we realize leadership development is the key to greater harvest effectiveness.

Bible-Based

Again, from the earliest records of this work and its leaders, the foundation of the Bible has been one of the clearest and most highly prized values of this Movement. Therefore, we renew our covenant to walk in the light of God’s Word.

Enabled by the Holy Spirit

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” (Acts 1:8). Jesus made it clear that the baptism in the HolySpirit would enable His followers to complete the mandate to reach the world with the Gospel. Recognizing that our own strength is insufficient, we, as leaders in this Church, trust fully in the working of the Holy Spirit among us. We embrace His guidance and empowerment, and, unashamedly, confess our commitment to be people of the Pentecostal blessing, and by His help, we will be a kingdom-oriented Movement, working with believers around the world in the spirit of Christian unity.
