When Jesus calls us to follow him we are also called to participate in his mission: to make disciples of all nations. We hear this call from Jesus, passed to the apostles and continuing in us to be his witnesses to the ends of the earth. We do this by participating in God's work around the world through prayer, sharing the word, resources and our very lives.

God is a missionary God already at work throughout creation. We will continue our support of Eurasian missions but are embracing a new opportunity in Ethiopia to partner in his great work. We join in his mission internationally by sponsoring, praying for and partnering with people in those foreign countries and cities whom God is calling. This year two members of the Omaha church will be traveling to Ethiopia for the strengthening and assisting of a Bible study group there. Eventually we hope to support, empower and help groups in Sudan and South Sudan and wherever the Holy Spirit might lead us. You can support the work by praying for the journey, joining our missions task force and if you're able giving a special contribution.

BIBLE: The Bible is the Word of God. We hold to the Bible as our standard as disciples (Christians), as it helps us grow in maturity in Christ (Hebrews 4:12-13, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Colossians 1:28).

MAN: Mankind is made in the image of God. Man was created to have fellowship with God, but our sins have separated us from him. Only through Christ are we given the opportunity to be reconciled to Him and the chance to live life to the full (Genesis 1, Romans 3:23-24, John 10:10, Ecclesiastes 12:13).

GOD: There is one God, who is the Father, one Son, and one Holy Spirit. As the Creator of all things, God is all-knowing, perfect, and holy. We are made for 

His glory. He is loving, compassionate, and faithful to His people and His promises (Isaiah 43:1-7, John 1:1-18).

JESUS: Jesus is the image of the invisible God, sent from heaven to redeem mankind. He lived a sinless life. He defeated death in His resurrection so that we could have life. Jesus is the ultimate example to be human and obey God (Philippians 2:5-11, Colossians 1:15).

HOLY SPIRIT: The Holy Spirit is the Advocate promised by Jesus, who convicts people of their sin and transforms them to become more like Christ. We cannot live the life God intends for us without the Holy Spirit’s strength and guidance. All disciples receive the Holy Spirit (John 16:8, 13; John 14:6; 1 Corinthians 2:10b; Acts 2:38).

SALVATION: We are saved by grace through faith. The Gospel (good news) is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone. God’s plan is for man to respond through faith, repentance, and baptism (Ephesians 2:8, Romans 1:16, Acts 2:38, Romans 6:4-6).

CHURCH: The Church is a community of believers who are devoted to each other and are unified through their faith in Christ. As a church, we are committed to following the scriptures. We seek to bring the Gospel and reconciliation to the world. Our purpose is to engage in the mission of God (Ephesians 2:19-22, 2 Samuel 22:31, Psalm 119, 2 Corinthians 5:11-21).
