The Mission of 2PC – Part 4
The mission of 2 Pillars Church is to reach the unreached for Christ and transform the city of Lincoln by loving God and loving people. This is the fourth of a five-post series aimed at unpacking this mission.
What sort of “transformation of the city” are we aiming for?
Transforming the city sounds like a monumental goal, but in reality it is achievable. Transforming the city does not mean that we convert every single person to Christ or get everyone to come to our church.
Transforming the city means that we are involved in the city, we volunteer in the city, we work in the city, we serve the city, and we seek the welfare of the city. We are not a separatist sect or a Christian huddle, but rather a culture-engaging group of Christians bent on mission to show the city what Christ-transformed lives look like. Truly transformed lives will produce a transformed city as the gospel changes how we raise our kids, how we work our jobs, how we do business, how we spend our time and our energy, and how we interact with our neighbors. It also changes what we treasure and what we let go, what tears on our hearts and what makes us passionate.
