The Western Georgia Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction of The
Church of God in Christ exists for the purpose of continuing
the mission of our Lord Jesus Christ (prophetic, priestly,
and kingly) in seeking and saving those which are lost.
We accept this mandate with joy to proclaim praise and
practice the good news of Jesus Christ to liberate man from
sin.
Therefore, we are impelled to teach men to observe all
things whatsoever our Lord has commanded. In so doing,
we nurture and equip members of the Body of Christ for His
service.
The foundation of The Western Georgia Ecclesiastical
Jurisdiction of The Church of God in Christ stands firmly on
the infallible word of God as our only authority in all
matters. Being empowered by the Holy Spirit, we engage
in active ministry internally and externally for the
unifying, sanctifying and edifying of the Body of Christ to
the glory of God.
Ministry Objectives
In conjunction with the
Ministry Statement of Western Georgia Ecclesiastical
Jurisdiction of The Church of God in Christ, the following
are objectives of which we intend to weave into the ministry
fabric of Western Georgia to ensure the highest potential of
successful ministry.
1. Facilitate training in the area of effective
leadership
Strong leadership is the
key to any successful organization or endeavor. This
statement is even the more applicable to striving to develop
an effective ministry. We will develop and sharpen
skills that directly address leadership and leadership
principles.
2. Promote ministry that ministers to the total man
We will develop methods
and techniques to address the needs of not only the
spiritual man but the natural as well.
3. Encourage church involvement in the community of which it
is apart
It is becoming more
apparent that our churches need to take the communities in
which we minister by storm to provide a true answer to man’s
problems. The only effective way to accomplish this
goal is by incorporating our churches into the community and
playing an active role in that community.
4. Identify strategies for church expansion
Grow, Grow, Grow! Not
only in numbers of membership but also in MINISTRY and
SERVICE.
