Formation
Formation as the slow, cruciform shaping of persons into the image of Christ, through teaching, spiritual disciplines, and communal life (Romans 8:29; 12:1–2; Galatians 4:19).
Mission
Mission as the outflow of love, going into the world as ambassadors of Christ by means of reconciliation, justice, and mercy (Matthew 28:18–20; John 20:21).
