Video Series
In this series for elders, missions committees, and church members, Brooks Buser and Chad Vegas outline five competencies of a sending and going church evangelizing the hardest places.
Five Competencies of a Sending Church
Reaching every language demands the devotion of every church.
01 — Own the Mission
A faithful church knows its chief end and sends itself to the ends of the earth.
02 — Steward the Means
Your church already has the means it needs: the Holy Spirit, preaching, prayer, and the sacraments.
03 — Build the House
You can’t send what you haven’t received. A sending church must first be made healthy, equipped, and faithful by Christ.
04 — Commit to the Culture
One “Missions Sunday” won’t cut it. Mission must shape your message and ministry year-round.
05 — Labor Together
No church finishes the task alone. Band together, learn from the past, and send well.
When a church ceases to be evangelistic, it must cease to be evangelical; and when it ceases to be evangelical, it must cease to exist as a true church of God.
