MISSIONS
MISSIONS IS...
The whereby we embrace God's heart for those outside his family and strive to bring the gospel to them.
Citipoint Church has selected 16 missionaries and mission organizations as strategic gospel partners. Through our partnership with them we spread God's good news.
As their gospel partners we are committed to pray for them, support them financially, and connect with them in strategic ventures over the years.
WE WANT THE PEOPLE OF CITIPOINT CHURCH TO...
-
KNOW our missionaries and our missions
-
PRAY for our missionaries
-
GIVE to missions joyfully and sacrificially
-
GO as opportunities are available
THE INDIVIDUAL-COLLECTIVE PRINCIPLE
Our strategy is to inspire individual commitment from those who are a part of Citipoint Church and to combine those individual commitments to reflect the collective nature of the church as revealed in the Bible (Acts 4:32-37; Acts 13-14; Phil. 4:14-19; 1 Cor. 16:1-4).
The Missions Team selects the missionaries and mission organizations that the church will partner with. Then the individuals and individual families of the church get to know these missionaries, pray for them, and give to missions regularly.
THE EIGHTY-TWENTY PRINCIPLE
Citipoint Church is a part of the Assemblies of God, which is a remarkably effective force for missions. As a part of the AG we enthusiastically dedicate 80% of our efforts and resources to AG missions and 20% to non-AG missions. These non-AG missions are vetted for their effectiveness and our support for them is done with enthusiasm too.
In a similar way Citipoint Church dedicates 80% of our missions' efforts and resources to global missions and 20% to local missions. The rationale for this is twofold. First, the super majority of the needs of the world are outside of our borders. Second, the efforts and resources of the local church (i.e. Citipoint Church) as a mission itself, go to bringing the gospel here.
Citipoint Church has a future goal that 80% of our global missions support will go to missions efforts to unreached people groups*. This is because 3.2 billion people in the world are unreached and less than 1% of all money given to missions goes to unreached people and places.
*Unreached people groups and places are those among whom Christ is largely unknown and the church is relatively insufficient to make Christ known to its broader population without outside help.
