Meetings of the NAC Task Force and one of the Transformation Teams are being held this week in Anderson. The theme for the 125th (yes, 125 years of Camp Meeting!) North American Convention is going to be Permeate! Engaging every individual, church, and agency in the Great Commandments (Matthew 22:37-39). It is Strategic Value Two of the Church of God. Through the Five Strategic Values, the Church of God seeks to transform the culture by being the body of Christ!

The other Strategic Values are as follows:

Ignite! Revitalizing the Great Commission (Matt. 28:18-20) in the life of every individual, church, and agency.

Free! Committing to stewardship principles (Matt. 6:33) leading to a flexible ministry future and the management of debt (debt-free as the goal) for every individual, church, and agency.

Cultivate! Nurturing the spiritual gifts (1 Cor. 12:1-7) of every individual, church, and agency.

Refresh! Renewing our efforts toward relational connectivity and identity (John 17:21-22) for every individual, church, and agency of the Church of God.

Transformation cannot take place without an emphasis on these values. God will bless the Church of God, but transformation and revival must begin on a personal level. Just imagine what God can and will do when His people commit to these values spelled out throughout His holy Word!
