 Realizes she is a living, inter-dependent part of the missionary impulse of the Body, seeking to touch, and be in touch, with her community: engaging local culture, and taking Christ into it.
She is an agent for transformation in her sphere of influence. She seeks to release the gifts of her members for the building up of the Kingdom of God – on Earth as it is in Heaven. She doesn’t care who gets the credit, as long as the Lord gets the glory and praise!
