The Church and Her Mission

Abstract

The only reason for the existence of the Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) church
is the proclamation of the gospel. The objective of all departments of the church
and of all our institutions is the proclamation of the gospel. The gathering of SDA
church leaders at its various meetings is to achieve the mission of the church—"To
evangelize and not to institutionalize." Someone has said, "If we don't evangelize,
we fossilize."
