The Racine Bible Church missions ministry will demonstrate values that are vital to pursuing missions with this kind of compassion and readiness.
- Foundational – Christ centered, Gospel based and faithful to the Scriptures
- Prayer – Will be the foundation for all our missions efforts Matt 9:37, 38; Acts 13:2
- Church planting – Our focus will be on ministries that plant and assist in strengthening and multiplying churches particularly where there may be little or no Gospel witness. Matt 16:18
- National workers – Partnering with key national pastors/evangelists/ministry leaders via current missionaries or missions organizations to assist in church planting and training of church leaders 3 John 5-8
- Discipleship – Developing quality disciples in the local national church 2 Tim 2:2; Matt 28:19-20
- People focused – Seeking God to raise up and/or equip laborers Acts 9:15; Rom 10:14-15
- Holistic ministry – Meeting physical needs of the lost as we address their spiritual needs with the Gospel Matt 25:34-46
- Primacy of the local church – Working with missions organizations that partner with the sending/supporting church, see the local church as the first line of accountability along with overseeing the missionary’s ministry
