Missio Dei is a Latin term referring to God's mission to reconcile all things (Colossians 1:20). We believe that our purpose (or mission) in life is defined by our primary identity. We also believe that God has created all people in His image and called us to live as citizens of His Kingdom, children in His Family, and ambassadors on His Mission. Once a person surrenders in faith to Jesus, their primary identity is then found in Him and their mission in life is redefined!
It is our prayer that Missio Dei Church will lead people to trust in Jesus, embrace their identity in Him, and pursue God's mission together!
Our Beliefs
THE BIBLE
The Bible is God’s Word to all people. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit, so it is without error and is sufficient and effective for all matters of life and faith.

TRINITY
God has existed in relationship with Himself for all eternity. He exists as one substance in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

THE FATHER
God is great: He is all powerful, all knowing, ever present, unchanging, completely worthy of our trust, and above all, Holy.
It is in Him that we live, move and exist.

THE SON
Jesus Christ is completely human but, at the same time, completely God. He is the only plan for bringing people who are far from God back into a right relationship with God. He lived a perfect life, so that He could be a substitution for us in satisfying God’s demands for perfection. He defeated death in His resurrection so that we can have life.

THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit’s presence assures us of our relationship with Christ. He guides believers into all truth and exalts Christ. He convicts people of their sin, God’s righteousness, and the coming judgment. He comforts us, gives us spiritual gifts, and makes us more like Christ.

ETERNITY
Man was created to exist forever. He will exist either eternally separated from God by sin or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is Heaven.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
MAN
Man is made in the image of God and is the supreme object of His creation. Man was created to have fellowship with God but became separated in that relationship through sinful disobedience and cannot attain a right relationship with God through his own effort.
Every human is uniquely created, possesses dignity, and is worthy of respect and Christian love.

SALVATION
The blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the only way of salvation through the forgiveness of sin. Salvation occurs when people place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ. Salvation is a gift from God, and it cannot be earned through our own efforts.

THE CHURCH
The church is a local community of baptized believers unified through faith in Christ. It is committed to the teachings of Christ and obeying all of His commands, and it seeks to bring the Gospel to the world. The church works together in love and unity to glorify Christ.
