Mission Statement

The mission of the Mentor Garfield Road Church of God is to fulfill the Great Commission of Matthew 28:18, 19; to take the gospel of Jesus Christ to the world, convert the heathen, baptize converts, teach believers how to live according to the word of God, equip believers to minister for the Lord within the church and evangelize the unbelieving in the world.

Our Vision

The vision of this local church ministry is to utilize the four primary ministries of the church: the Ministries of Exaltation, Evangelization, Edification and Education to develop an Evangelical Discipleship Outreach to Lake County and the North Coast area of Ohio. The church will therefore continue striving to exalt the Lord Jesus Christ through the preaching and teaching of the gospel; through the exercise of Christian benevolence, discipline and responsibility; and through corporate and private worship both in and outside the sanctuary. The church will continue to evangelize the unbelieving through the proclamation of the gospel in audio and printed format; through personal soul winning, evangelistic services, crusades and rallies, through outreach ministries in businesses, coffee houses, jails, homes and schools; through whatever mass communications media that becomes accessible and in conjunction with other church bodies in Mass Evangelism Appeals.

The church will continue to baptize, bond and edify new converts through discipleship classes, elder ministries, membership classes and counseling, prayer partnerships, support group ministries and fellowship and recreation opportunities.

The church will continue to equip believers for service through her educational ministries including but not limited to Bible Institutes, Bible Studies, Bible Clubs, Mentor Heritage Christian Academy, Pastoral, Elder and lay Ministry Training Programs.

The vision of the Mentor Garfield Road Church of God is not limited to building a vibrant Christ-life producing ministry here, but to also send forth ministers and resources to establish and equip other effective ministries both locally and around the world. We see ourselves as one small but vital part of God's global church working in spiritual harmony with the entire body of Christ in order to fulfill the Great Commission.
