Conference Theme
Essential Church: Identity, Power, and Mission
IDENTITY
In terms of individual Christian identity, being part of the church means you are in an unchangeable, spiritual union with millions of people who together form the global body of Christ.
POWER
Jesus commanded His followers to preach the gospel and make disciples in the world. Jesus baptizes them with the Holy Spirit to empower them to boldly and effectively preach the gospel and make disciples as His witnesses.
MISSION
The church collectively becomes a more full expression of Jesus in the world as His followers work together for the gospel and use their gifts to serve one another. In this way, Jesus manifests Himself and carries on His mission in the world today.
When the CGN team met back in November, little did we realize how important (and relevant) this year’s conference theme would be for discussion. Never has there been a time like the present to revisit Calvary Chapel’s values and the true essence of what “church” is. From its beginning, CGN has a history rooted in the Calvary Chapel movement of grace and reaching people cross-culturally. We are Amazed by the Lord’s guidance in this year’s lineup of speakers, and each speaker will provide a broad and diverse perspective to this year’s theme.
