Who We Are
We
are an international Christian church with 250,000 members found in
more than 50 nations. Our World Headquarters, including a Temple
dedicated to the pursuit of peace, is located in Independence,
Missouri. The church was organized in 1830 in New York state.
Our Mission
We proclaim
Jesus Christ and promote communities of joy, hope, love and peace.
Our Vision
We believe that the future belongs to God and that the
promise of God's kingdom shall be fulfilled. We have a vision of
that kingdom where Christ is truly honored, where God's will is done
on earth, where the hungry are fed, poverty alleviated, sinners are
repentant, and sin is forgiven. We believe that love is the proper
foundation of our relationship with others, that opportunity to grow
in the likeness of Christ should be fostered, and that resources of
the world can be managed to respect and preserve their creation and
purpose. We dream of a time when all evil is overcome and peace
prevails.
We will be an
international community of prophetic vision, faithful to the risen
Christ, empowered by hope, spending ourselves courageously in the
pursuit of peace and justice.
