The mission of the United Church of God is to proclaim to the world the little-understood gospel taught by Jesus Christ—the good news of the coming Kingdom of God—and to prepare a people for that Kingdom. This message not only offers great hope for all of humanity, but encompasses the purpose of human existence—why we are here and where our world is headed.
The mission Christ has given His Church is twofold. First, it is to preach the gospel throughout the world. Second, it is to make disciples among those who hear and heed when the gospel of the Kingdom of God is preached to them.
What is the purpose of life? God's Word plainly tells us that man's destiny is to become the children of God, divine members of His immortal spirit family.
It signifies that we are united in our commitment to faithfully follow the way of life and mission for the Church revealed and established by God and His Son, Jesus Christ, in the Holy Scriptures.
The Church Jesus built is commissioned not only to feed Christ's sheep, as He commanded, but also to prepare those followers for greater works of service to God, their families, their communities and their fellow man.
The highlight of each year for members of the United Church of God is the biblical Feast of Tabernacles.
Like the members of the early Church, we remain fully committed to proclaiming the message of the coming Kingdom of God and Christ's pivotal role in it. Likewise, we remain fully committed to preparing a people to serve as Christ's helpers in that Kingdom.
The Bible repeatedly emphasizes that God's servants are to be wise stewards and managers over the resources He provides.
A examination of the Scriptures reveals many differences between the teachings and practices of Jesus and His apostles and what is commonly taught.
Many assume that, because Jesus Christ instituted the New Covenant, God's laws are thereby made obsolete. What does Jesus Himself say?
Ultimately, God desires that all mankind be saved and live eternally in His family and Kingdom. And this is what motivates the members of the United Church of God in our collective responsibility.
