To disciple members
To celebrate salvation through the sacraments of the Lord's supper and baptism
To instruct children in the Word of God
To present the Gospel to the lost through work on the mission fields, at home and abroad
To challenge God's people to subdue all areas of life and thought to the absolute dominion of God's laws
