WORSHIP AND THE MINISTRY OF THE CHURCH IN THE WORLD
 

 

1. Worship and Mission

The church participates in God’s mission to the world through its ministry and worship. Worship presents the reality of the divine

rule which God has promised in Jesus Christ as the final renewal of creation. The worshiping community in its integrity before the

Word and its unity in prayer and Sacraments is a sign of the presence of the reign of God. The church in its ministry bears witness

to God’s reign through the proclamation of the gospel, through works of compassion and reconciliation, and through the stewardship

of creation and of life. Signs of God’s reign are also manifest in the world wherever the Holy Spirit leads people to seek justice

and to make peace. (G-3.0000)


God calls the church in worship to join the mission of Jesus Christ in service to the world. As it participates in that mission the

church is called to worship God in Jesus Christ, who reigns over the world. (G-1.0200)
