We are "The Downtown Cathedral" here to serve Memphis.

The great commission ('Go into all the world and make disciples of all nations') is not just individual, but corporate: 'Preach the Gospel to all creation' (Mark 16:15, RSV, NIV). Jesus says to his disciples, 'As the Father sent me, so I send you' (John 20:21). Here is both a command and a pattern for evangelism. The church's mission in the world is to be like Christ's. He was born into the world, lived in the world, and died for the world. We, too, are called to a humble, sacrificial identification with those to whom we are sent. 'Mission' includes everything the church is sent into the world to do. Biblical mission involves three concerns: compassion for those the New Testament calls the lost (evangelism); compassion for the hurting (mercy) and compassion for the powerless (justice). These three concerns are highlighted by Micah (6:8) and Jesus (Matthew 23:23) as being essential to an authentic biblical faith. Justice has to do with our relationships to worldly powers, mercy our relationship to others' pain, faithfulness our relationship to God's plan. Mission in the Bible involves three modes: word (what we say to others for God); deed (what we do for others in the Lord's name); and sign (what God does to corroborate his word through our words and his works through our deeds). The church is the divinely instituted organism of Heaven for the purpose of evangelism (sharing our faith; winning the lost to Christ through our witness, Matthew 28:19, 20; Acts 1:8) and edification (building up the body of Christ through the teaching of God’s word and through the fellowship of believers in the Holy Spirit, Acts 20:32, Ephesians 4:12). While both of these stated purposes have many different and dynamic implications, they basically state the primary function of every local congregation which worships Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. As a member of this local church, you are called by God, to share in his blessed privilege and responsibility. It is only through the effective, faithful exercise of our mission that we please our Heavenly Father. Therefore, we seek in all that we do to have some element of this stated purpose obvious to all. The church is not out to “save the world”, but we are out to share the good news , that Jesus Christ is alive forevermore and will save all who will trust him for salvation from sin and self and provide an atmosphere in which it is possible for a new creature in Christ to grow and develop. As Christians, we want you to know that we need your help as we seek to accomplish his formidable task. We thank God for you, for you have become one of the laborers He has given us to gather and already ripened harvest!
