OUR VISION
Matthew Cawthorn Evangelistic Association, believes that changing our communities will take place one life at a time. If our communities are to see positive change, it will be accomplished by changing the hearts of its residents. We believe that the Kingdom of God is built and advanced on relationships. Therefore, our focus will always be relational. Our belief is that no one can resist true love because it covers the multitude of sins. (1Peter 4:8 )
Will you partner with us to help in advancing the Gospel to the residents of our State, Our Nation, and the World? Our lost and hurting world needs your commitment, your love and your sacrifice.
CORE VALUES
Evangelism
We value Evangelism that reaches those outside of our churches with the Gospel of God’s Grace & Peace. (Luke 19:10)
Cultural relevancy
We endeavor to communicate the Good News of Jesus Christ to society in ways it can understand. We reach beyond our own culture as we focus on having an effective impact on other cultures with the Gospel.
(1 Corinthians 9:22)
Developing community In-roads
We believe that being active in the community and developing relationships and networking among its leaders and others are significant for Kingdom impact. (Luke 16:8)
Preaching and teaching
We strive to preach and teach God’s Word with integrity and authority. This enables seekers to find Christ and believers to mature in Him. (2 Timothy 3:16)
Discipling
We value discipleship that is transformational. This turns believers into Christ-followers and encourages people to actively become involved in ministry. It also is designed to encourage people to discover their own spiritual gifts to serve. (Matthew 28:19)
Ministry of the Saints
We are committed to a team model for ministry and organization that equips and empowers every individual. We are focused on producing a multiplicity of ministry as found in Ephesians 4 for the maturing of believers and their work in the ministry that God has given them. (Ephesians 4:12-13)
