Mission Minded — our word for 2026 — invites us to rediscover God’s heart for the world through the example of the early church. In a time when following Jesus was costly and culture was often hostile, ordinary believers lived with extraordinary purpose—seeing their lives, their cities, and the world as their mission field. This series explores how the church in the first centuries carried the gospel with courage, compassion, and conviction, and how God is calling our church to live sent lives today—on mission together, right where God has placed us.
