2010 Cooperative School of Christian Mission
Theme: FAITH HOPE LOVE IN ACTION
As people of FAITH, we trust in the promise of Christ to bring light into darkness and new life to brokenness and death.
As people of HOPE, we celebrate and share the good news of Jesus Christ. Together in the world we are partners in God?s mission of healing and wholeness so that all might have abundant life.
As people of God, we LOVE because God first loved us. It is out of that love that we welcome all into community, unite what is divided, mend what is broken, call for peace where there is war, make just what is unjust, and offer hope where there is despair. FAITH HOPE LOVE IN ACTION: All God's people in mission together in the world!
