Our views
Concerning Systematic Theology
At undenominational.church, we are deeply committed to the divine mission (missio Dei), the image of God in humanity (imago Dei), and the profound significance of atonement. We believe that these core principles are the foundation of our faith and guide our exploration and understanding of various theologies.
We strive to:
- Embrace the Missio Dei: Recognize and participate in God's ongoing mission to redeem and restore the world. We seek to align our actions and ministries with this divine purpose, fostering a community that reflects God's love and grace.
- Honor the Imago Dei: Affirm the inherent dignity and worth of every individual as created in the image of God. We are dedicated to promoting justice, compassion, and inclusivity, ensuring that all people are valued and respected.
- Understand Atonement: Delve into the profound mystery of atonement, exploring its implications for our lives and relationships. We aim to deepen our understanding of how Christ's sacrificial love transforms us and calls us to live in reconciliation with God and one another.
Through rigorous theological analysis and reflection, we seek to enrich our faith and inspire our community to live out these principles in tangible ways. Our mission is to create a space where individuals can encounter God's love, grow in their spiritual journey, and make a positive impact on the world around them.
Concerning the Immigrant Missio Dei
A At undenominational.church, we recognize the profound intersection of immigration with the divine mission (missio Dei) and the image of God in humanity (imago Dei). Our commitment to these theological principles shapes our understanding of and approach to immigration, fostering a community that embraces diversity and seeks to reflect God's love for all people.We strive to:
Embrace the Missio Dei in the Context of Immigration
Recognize that God's mission transcends borders and nationalities. We see immigration as a powerful vehicle through which God is working to bring about His purposes in the world. Our community actively participates in this divine mission by:
- Welcoming immigrants as co-laborers in God's redemptive work
- Advocating for just and compassionate immigration policies
- Fostering cross-cultural relationships that enrich our understanding of God's global church
Honor the Imago Dei in Every Immigrant
Affirm the inherent dignity and worth of every immigrant as a bearer of God's image. We are dedicated to:
- Challenging dehumanizing narratives about immigrants
- Providing practical support to help immigrants thrive in their new communities
- Celebrating the unique gifts and perspectives immigrants bring to our faith community
Explore Immigration through the Lens of Reconciliation
Delve into how the immigrant experience reflects and illuminates the biblical themes of exile, hospitality, and reconciliation. We aim to:
- Study Scripture's teachings on welcoming the stranger and caring for the foreigner
- Examine how Christ's work of reconciliation applies to the complex realities of immigration
- Foster dialogue and understanding between immigrant and non-immigrant members of our community
Through thoughtful theological reflection and practical action, we seek to create a space where immigrants can encounter God's love, where all members can grow in their understanding of God's heart for the nations, and where we collectively embody Christ's call to welcome the stranger. Our mission is to be a community that not only discusses the theological implications of immigration but actively lives out God's love and justice in tangible ways.
