The heart is the life of the body, for it carries the blood throughout every part. Mission’s is the heart of the church. It is the mechanism given by God by which we carry the life-giving blood throughout the world. The Great Commission, as it is often called, is the mandate for the churches purpose for existence. As Jesus spoke in John 20:21, “…: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.” The church is on a mission and that mission is MISSIONS. We are to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ “both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth”, Acts 1:8.
Therefore, missions – local, national and international, is the heartbeat of CGBC. We desire to win men, women, boys and girls to Jesus Christ, to disciple them in the Word of God, and to send them out into their world to reach others with that same life-changing message.
