Our Life and Mission as Salt and Light

We prize the sanctity of life, from the womb to the tomb.

“The church is the community of the kingdom in which Jesus is acknowledged as Lord of the universe and through which, in anticipation of the end, the kingdom is concretely manifested in history.”
– Ecuadorian missiologist Rene Padilla

1. We are salt and light.

2. We are the salt of the earth and light of the world.

3. We serve as salt and light for the good of others and the glory of God. 

4. We impact to the degree we get involved. 

5. We impact to the degree that we are distinct from the world.  

 “Darkness cannot drive out darkness. Only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate. Only love can do that.”  Martin Luther King

 “The Christian life is truly counter-cultural, regardless of the culture we are from.”  Zambian theologian J. M. Kapolyo

• • Our mission is linked to our character.
