Our Mission, Vision
& Statement of Belief
Mission
The mission
of Outreach Comedy and Outreach, Inc.
is to further the Kingdom of God by empowering Christian churches with
quality events to reach their communities for Jesus Christ.
Vision
The vision
of Outreach, Inc. is to create a national association
of Christian churches and ministries working together to invite every
person in America to a local Bible believing church and ultimately into
a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The vision of Outreach
Comedy is to provide this opportunity through events that are
both entertaining and life changing.
Our
Statement of Belief
Outreach
Comedy is a non-denominational ministry that works with all
Bible believing Christian churches that embrace traditional Christian
theology. We believe that:
- There is one God eternally existing in three persons: Father,
Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19). Jesus Christ is God the Son
and is true God and true man (Phil 2:5-8).
- Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin
(Matthew 1:18 & 23), led a sinless life, took on Himself all
our sins (Romans 5:8-9), died on the cross, and rose again (1 Corinthians
15:1-4), and is seated at the right hand of the Father as our mediator
(Heb 9:15) and advocate (1 John 2:1).
- The Bible is God’s Word, uniquely and fully inspired by
the Holy Spirit (2 Timothy 3:16-17), and is authoritative on all
matters on which it speaks (2 Peter 1:20-21).
- All people sin and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23)
and will face eternal separation from God unless they come into
a saving relationship with Jesus Christ (John 3:16-17). Salvation
is a free gift from God (Ephesians 2:8-9) that can only be received
by faith in Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12, Galatians 2:16).
- God works through the members of His church to evangelize the
lost and teach believers to obey His commands (Matthew 28:18-20).
Churches are to be open to and accepting of all people, offering
God’s love and redemption to each person without prejudice
or condemnation (John 3:16-18). However, in their efforts to reach
out, churches must take care to uphold the Word of God, and not
engage in moral compromise (Romans 12:2) or affirm any sin such
as sexual immorality, idolatry, adultery, homosexuality, stealing,
greed, drunkenness, slander, swindling (1 Corinthians 6:9-10), murder,
strife, deceit, malice, gossip (Romans 1:21-32), witchcraft, hatred,
discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, factions, or
envy (Galatians 5:19-21).
- God's people are called to holiness in all aspects of life (Galatians
5:22-25), with the goal of being conformed to the image of our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ (Romans 8:29).
