The mission statement of the church helps us to keep focused on the main things,
so that we are not distracted from our mission. 
​
God is more glorious than anything that exists and so God’s mission is to reveal his own glory and so be glorified by everything. The church aligns itself to the mission of God. It is God Himself who must tell us how we can glorify him, we read his will in the Bible and desire to obey it.
