Mission Resolution

Originating from numerous conversations in Mission Forum in recent years, the aim of this resolution is to offer, discuss and hopefully affirm an understanding of mission that will inspire Baptists Together to further share the good news of Jesus through word and deed. Through prayerful discussion and discernment, the hope is, it will serve as an agreed foundation upon which we can build when considering what the nature of mission is and how we are called to embody it individually, in our churches, our wider ministries, and as Baptists Together.
 
It is not intended as a restrictive or closed statement, quite the opposite, the hope is it will liberate Baptists to understand mission through a broad lens, encouraging us to intentionally adopt mission strategies that equally value proclamation of word, acts of compassion, the pursuit of justice, and creation care, and witness how these expressions of mission interact beautifully in the pursuit of the Kingdom of God.
