Jesus commanded His disciples to be witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. We seek to fulfill the essence of that commandment from Mariemont by bearing witness to Jesus in:
Our Neighborhoods The most obvious opportunities for us to demonstrate the love of Christ and share the Good News of salvation through Him are in relationships with neighbors in our various communities, schools, workplaces, etc. We equip our members for that ministry and call them to it. Mariemont We have an historic place in the life of the Village of Mariemont. We welcome all its residents. We seek to be good neighbors to its government and civic organizations. We feel uniquely responsible to share the love and Good News of salvation in Christ with Village residents who do not yet believe in Him. Cincinnati Our city, including areas within a few blocks of the church, has the problems of many urban areas. As a result, we eagerly work with other churches—particularly urban churches—to build relationships and invest in efforts that rebuild urban families. World Missions We believe Jesus has given us a part in His plan to reach the world. We currently focus on efforts to take the Good News of salvation in Christ to an unreached people group and to children. We pray faithfully for local and distant missionaries. We give sacrificially. We create knowledge of missions and missionary experiences for our youth and adults. We send people from our congregation into short-term and long-term missionary service.
