OFFICE OF THE PRESIDING BISHOP The Most Reverend John C. White
VISION STATEMENT
The central objective of the Churches of God in Christ, International is to build men and women of purpose, power and praise. This is the mandate in all the ministry we perform. Our assignment is to teach the uncompromised Word of God so that purpose is revealed. We must empower believers to fulfill their purpose. Because the believer is firmly rooted and grounded in the Word of God and understands the source of success, they will give all the credit and praise to God.
We endeavor to build and fortify churches in other cities and states where the people would be taught and given and example of true holiness, character and integrity. These spirit filled churches must have an emphasis on building men and women with a God-consciousness so that they function as husbands, wives and parents in a manner that glorifies God and impacts their generation. We also endeavor to reach the lost and hurting with the message of faith and the loving touch so as to help them overcome the challenges in life. We are to provide enrichment through special emphasis ministry. Through an example of excellence of ministry, the church would inspire others to achieve excellence in every area of their lives, both spiritually and secularly.
Ministers of the Gospel are to be trained to pursue their callings with integrity, and with unquestionable ethics.
The five-fold ministry gifts should be active in our churches as they have been put in the church “for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ; Til we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.” (Eph. 4:12-13)
