“We reach out in mission locally and globally.” Our mission includes both evangelism
(inviting people to trust in the good news of Jesus Christ) and service (joining Christ
in creating a world of justice and peace). Presbyterians have begun more mission
projects in more countries than many other denominations. But today we understand
mission to be taking place in our own neighborhoods and by church members in their
daily lives. We continue to support mission on six continents, often as ecumenical
partners. Yet there is a growing awareness that the opportunity to do mission is at
everyone’s fingertips. We are concerned about hunger, disease, greed, violence,
and pollution, as well as salvation. Predestination is often associated with
Presbyterian thinking. For us, it is not a fatalistic resignation, but a confident belief
that God is in final control. With an urgency born of this hope, God calls us to be the
church acting in the world for the sake of his lost and fearful children.
