    ​​Scriptural Basis

    All that we undertake should fulfill the following: 1) The Great Commission (Mt. 28:19-20) Make disciples 2) Matthew 25:35-36, "I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you cared for me, I was in prison and you visited me."

    ​

    Objectives and Values

    - To approach mission through the lens of our United Methodist mission to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.

    - To foster and encourage within the Peakland congregation a spirit and desire to support mission work with financial resources and engage directly in such work through personal involvement.

    - To provide the opportunity for each church member to engage personally in actual mission activity.

    - We pray for God's guidance continually in our decisions

    - We target missions where we can make a significant difference

    - Our aim is to develop a relationship with our mission partners

    ​

    Mission Criteria

    1) Accessibility: need to have "hands on" involvement in the ministry 2) Accountability: have a defined plan of responsibility 3) Commitment: agree with planned mission 4) Competency: have a track record in the ministry 5) Equipped: are prepared for this ministry 6) Evangelism: share or live out the Gospel 7) Fiscal Prudence: meet our mutual financial goals 8) Reliability: meet mutually understood plan of action 9) Reporting: must be willing to provide feedback 10) Sensitivity: realize cultural differences​
