Our mission defines who we are—it is our identity, our calling, and our purpose:

Invite People to Christ:

This mission initiative centers on sharing Christ’s message of love, hope, and peace in ways that are respectful, genuine, and welcoming.

Community of Christ believes invitation is not about pressure or persuasion, but about relationships, example, and hospitality. We seek to live Christ’s teachings so others may encounter grace, compassion, and belonging.

Through conversation, service, and community life, we strive to:

  • Share the good news through actions and words

  • Welcome questions, curiosity, and exploration

  • Create spaces of belonging and spiritual discovery

  • Reflect Christ’s love in everyday life

Inviting people to Christ means opening doors, building relationships, and walking alongside one another in faith.

Abolish Poverty, End Suffering:

This mission initiative reflects Community of Christ’s commitment to human dignity, compassion, and justice.

We believe poverty and suffering are not inevitable — they are challenges that can be addressed when communities work together with care and courage. This initiative calls us to move beyond charity alone and toward lasting solutions that improve lives.

Through service, education, advocacy, and partnership, we seek to:

  • Reduce hunger and homelessness

  • Support access to healthcare and basic needs

  • Challenge systems that create inequality

  • Stand in solidarity with people who are marginalized or oppressed

At its heart, this mission is about love in action — responding to human need in practical ways while working toward a more just and peaceful world.

Pursue Peace on Earth:

This mission initiative calls us to actively work for peace, justice, and reconciliation in our communities and throughout the world.

Community of Christ understands peace as more than the absence of conflict. It is the presence of justice, compassion, and right relationships. We seek to follow Christ’s example by responding to violence, division, and injustice with courage and hope.

Through education, advocacy, and service, we strive to:

  • Promote nonviolence and reconciliation

  • Support human rights and dignity

  • Build understanding across differences

  • Work for justice as a foundation for lasting peace

Pursuing peace means choosing love over fear and action over indifference — locally and globally.

Develop Disciples to Serve:

This mission initiative focuses on helping people grow in faith through action.

In Community of Christ, a disciple is not just someone who believes, but someone who lives out Christ’s love by serving others. We support spiritual growth that leads to compassion, integrity, and responsibility in everyday life.

Through learning, worship, mentorship, and service, we encourage people to:

  • Deepen their relationship with God

  • Discover their gifts and purpose

  • Serve their communities with humility and care

  • Act for justice, peace, and healing

Being a disciple means learning, growing, and serving — together. This mission invites everyone to develop a faith that makes a positive difference in the world.

Experience Congregations in Mission:

This mission initiative invites people to experience congregations that are actively engaged in making a difference beyond their walls.

Community of Christ believes congregations exist not just for worship, but to serve their neighborhoods and the world. Being “in mission” means responding to real needs with compassion, courage, and collaboration.

Through service, outreach, and partnership, congregations seek to:

  • Address local and global needs

  • Build meaningful relationships in the community

  • Practice faith through action

  • Share hope by serving alongside others

Experiencing a congregation in mission means seeing faith lived out through service, justice, and love
