Upward / Inward / Outward

“From the teaching of the New Testament it is easily perceived that the church operates in three relationships: upward to God in worship and glorification; inward to herself in edification, purification, education and discipline; outward to the world in evangelization and service ministries.” Charles Brock, Indigenous Church Planting

As churches we delight in the upward, can bask in the inward but at times the outward becomes a struggle. Christ ministry keep a great focus on all three.
