Why Missions?
Christ Church's mission is to glorify God by making, maturing, and mobilizing disciples by loving Jesus and loving like Jesus - both in Memphis and around the world. Here you'll find our Missions vision, which supports and is in line with the overall vision of Christ Church.
Vision || We envision a day when Christ Church members...
..care for the sick and abandoned by
- providing medical care and personal compassion to thousands, especially the urban poor of Memphis and those suffering from the AIDS pandemic in Africa.
- providing environments of loving stability and education for hundreds of orphans, especially those who lost their families to famine, disease, and social or political injustice.
...unleash the Gospel among unreached people by
- providing the scriptures to thousands who have never heard the Gospel, especially in countries where it has been systematically opposed.
- empowering and planting dozens of churches, especially in countries where the church is exploding without the need for buildings or complex structure.
...mobilize servant leaders by
- training thousands of indigenous pastors and lay leaders, especially among people groups where faith in Christ is spreading exponentially.
- teaching hundreds of community, business, and academic leaders how to lead consistent with biblical principles, especially in settings that facilitate introduction to faith in Christ.
...create opportunities for the poor and oppressed by
- providing education and resources for thousands to begin meeting the physical needs of their families, especially within the world's poorest communities.
- facilitating home ownership, neighborhood revitalization and community development, especially within the inner city of Memphis.
