Our mission

The mission of Mark the Evangelist is to seek to relate to people in ways that correspond to God’s continuing actions and promises. We believe that:

  • God is love – and so our mission is to be a Church that offers self giving love in the world;
  • God is just and takes the side of the poor and dispossessed – and so our mission is to be a Church that works for justice and supports the most vulnerable in our society;
  • God, through the prophets, challenged the Church and unjust rulers and leaders – and so our mission is to be a Church that exercises a prophetic ministry that challenges our own lives as well as others;
  • God, in Jesus Christ, entered fully into our humanity to raise us up to new life – and so our mission is to be a Church that commits itself to work for human development in the world; for reconciliation and for racial, ethnic and religious harmony; and for the renewal of the face of the earth.
