On Mission
God is on mission.
God is constantly at work in our world. Together we seek to discover places God is moving and find ways to join in as partners. Our goal is not to “do” missions to people. Our goal is to be On Mission with people, communities, and congregations who are already partnering in God’s work. Our world is rich in opportunities to be invested in God’s work!
CBF OK is committed to missions that cultivate beloved community, bear witness to Jesus Christ, and seek transformational development. Our mission work is grounded in the contexts of global poverty, global migration, and global church.
CBF OK can help churches, groups and individuals participate in life-changing missions — across the street or across the globe. As you discover where God is working and how you may partner, CBF OK can connect you with highly-effective field personnel and resources.
Community
Forming together is at the heart of CBF Oklahoma. Our faith is built in community. We work better in community. We learn and grow from working alongside others. Agreeing and disagreeing with others teaches us to be tolerant, to forgive, and even to change. All of these moments in community form us, together, as the Kingdom of God.
