Mission Statement

The mission of the church is making disciples:  Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you…. Matthew 28: 19 20

The primary task of Great Mercy Haitian Tabernacle Baptist Church congregations is faith development:

• Reaching out and receiving people into the congregation.
• Helping them strengthen their relationship to God through Christ.
• Nurturing them in the Christian faith and equipping them for lives of discipleship.
• Sending them out to live as God’s people — extending the church and helping make the world more loving and just.

 At Great Mercy Haitian Tabernacle Baptist Church:

• We envision our church as joyfully celebrating a wide spectrum of opportunities for creating interconnections between Christ, our congregation, and our community, especially among those who have not traditionally connected with the church. Our central connection is with Christ, who invites all into covenant relationship and calls us to discipleship. We seek to connect people to ministries for all age levels, especially for youth and young adults. We seek to foster interconnections of spiritual friends, connecting people to people, honoring their current level of involvement in God’s mission, and offering them the means of grace to deepen that involvement. We seek to connect people to a changing community, especially to the least among us, with whom we seek to learn what the Holy Spirit is calling us to do and be.
