“The mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church is to proclaim to all peoples the everlasting gospel in the context of the three angels’ messages of Revelation 14:6-12, leading them to accept Jesus as personal Savior and to unite with His church, and nurturing them in preparation for His soon return.” (GC Working Policy A 05)

This Mission Statement is the foundation on which the following is established:
Christ’s ideal for His church was that it should reflect His workmanship, for it was He who said, I will build my church. Christ also affirmed that He intends to present it to His Father as a perfect church, having neither spot nor blemish. This ideal will be achieved as members respond to Christ’s love on the cross, humbly submit to Christ’s lordship as set forth in the Holy Scriptures, and depend fully on the indwelling power and leading of the Holy Spirit.

The General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, in response to the mission of Christ, is placing emphasis on three strategic issues: Quality of Life, Unity, and Growth. It is our deep desire that in the formation of a community of faith, each person will experience unconditional commitment to Christ. This commitment results in joyful and loving personal experience, active participation in the life of the church, and compassionate service to the wider community in the world.

General Conference leaders will design and carry out their services to the world field in such a way that the Lordship of Jesus Christ shall find expression in the Seventh-day Adventist Church through:

1. Introduction of the Three Core Values?
2. Quality of personal and church life demonstrated?
3. Unity of church demonstrated?
4. How will you respond to Jesus?
