Our 6 Ministry Distinctives

Specific scriptural mandates shape and guide the ministry of CBMC International.

Matthew 28:19-20, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Acts 1:8, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

2 Timothy 2:2, “And what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.”

As such, we have determined that certain practices are particularly effective in doing so and have embraced them as our ministry “distinctives”:

Calling:

We are called by God to be “salt” and “light,” hindrances to corruption, and champions of righteousness as His “ambassadors” in the marketplace.

Prayer:

By embracing prayerful intimacy with Christ, we seek His favor and power in reaching the lost and developing Christ-followers.

Teams:

We embrace Christian community through effective teams of business and professional men and women who support one another and share our gifts in the marketplace.

Evangelism:

We are compelled by the love of God to bring reconciliation to His prime creation, humanity, through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

DISCIPLESHIP:

In humility and love, we deeply invest in another’s spiritual growth and maturity through shared experiences, modeling Christ-like behavior, mutual accountability, and authentic relationships.

Leadership:

We embody servant leadership, as modeled by Jesus Christ, leading with humility, prioritizing the well-being and growth of others over self-interest, and emphasizing service, love, compassion, and sacrificial dedication as fundamental principles for influencing our world.
