The mission of the Church of the Word Gainesville, Inc includes both evangelistic proclamation and deeds of love and service. We commit ourselves and our resources to this mission, both locally and to the uttermost parts of the earth. We affirm our particular responsibility to know, love, and serve the Lord in our local settings and contexts. Since the biblical pattern of witness moves from the local to the global, we will endeavor to be well-informed about our local communities and active in church planting, evangelism, service, social justice, and cross-cultural, international mission, with particular concern for the poor and the unreached peoples of the world.

Historic Faith, Ecumenical Vision.  We affirm the Faith of the Church of the Word Gainesville, Inc as it is set forth in the Nicene and Apostles’ Creeds and in the classical Prayer Book tradition.
