Our Mission: The Phos Community Church Score Card

Just thought I'd send you this photo reminder about why we do what we do at Phos Community Church. This is taped on the wall of my study so as I prepare messages, work with key leaders to plan mission engagements and other worship experiences I think about this scorecard. You can 'get this' if you'll think in terms of helping people grow up to become vibrant reproducing children of our great Father-God-King. Remember Jesus stating that his mission was to set the captives free and proclaim the year of the Lord's favor. That's our rescue mission, too.

Also remember Jesus commission to His followers to GO and make disciples and to teach them everything Jesus said and then to baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. [ Matthew 28:20 ]

The mission of the church is to be in 'sub-mission' to His mission as His body in motion here on earth.

A few other definitions may help:

POWs and MIAs are those who are being held by our arch enemy or who may have chosen to live away from a relationship with Jesus.

To be clear we wanted to launch a church that un-churched people would find inviting and beneficial. We still work hard to do that! That's our primary mission. The church is the only social organization that exists for the benefit of those we haven't met yet!

To get 'BIG' is to enjoy all the features and benefits and rights and responsibilities you have as a Dearly Loved Child Of God.

GOING TOGETHER is a core key value for us because we know that when you Go that you'll grow! We believe to follow Jesus is to go and do with your hands and feet. We aren't content to let you spectate - we want you to participate. We want to see you follow Jesus in a way that gets your hands and feet going along with your head and heart. I'd add one more aspect if I was revising the score card and that would be 'Mission at One Degree' or M1D. It's the idea that whenever you live, work and breathe is your primary place to be on Mission with God as His Ambassador. Dive Deeper Into the Adventure Ahead with us at Phos Community Church.

Godspeed,
