Southeast is a missional church; always seeking to advance the mission and message of Christ in the community and the world. The church has the awesome responsibility to discern, celebrate and participate in the mission of God as it proclaims the gospel to others.
The disciple Peter tells us, “But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,” (1 Peter 3:15). Our call in faith is to give an account of what God in Christ has done for us. We are responsible for our words, as well as our actions, but we are to do everything with gentleness and respect. The missional goal is to love God! Love people! Serve others! We do this by “doing it unto the least of these” (Matthew 25:40); by meeting those who have need.
Southeast seeks to be the hands and feet of God to a world in need. We have sought to do this through a variety of missional experiences:
