Crescent
Our Vision Our vision is that each of the seven million Muslims in North America hears and responds to Jesus Christ.
Personal relationships between Christian and Muslim populations are often strained or non-existent because of rampant misunderstandings that lead to fear and distrust. Our goal is to overcome misunderstandings about Islam through education so that Christians take the initiative to build friendships with their Muslim neighbors. Personal relationships open the door for discussion about spiritual issues and personal beliefs.
Our approach to witnessing is best summed up by this quote taken from our training seminar: "Our job is not to make the Muslim a Christian. Our job is to show them the love of Christ." Only God can change a person's heart. Jesus simply calls us to be His ambassadors, pointing people to Him.
For many years most Christians have assumed that Muslims are "too hard" to reach, and that only "experts" can adequately share the gospel with Muslims. We take the opposite view and believe that local congregations have the best opportunity to reach Muslims because they have the best opportunity to build meaningful relationships with them.
As you sensitively share the joy of knowing Christ with your Muslim friend, neighbor, co-worker, or classmate, you are a part of seeing this vision reached!
Statement of Faith
We believe in one God, Creator and Lord of the universe, eternally existent as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe in Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the incarnate word of God, the promised Messiah, Son of God; born of the Virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, died on the cross for atonement of sin and rose from the dead for our justification. He ascended to heaven and intercedes for us. He is the only mediator between God and Man.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God, promised by the Father. He has come to glorify Jesus Christ, sanctify the believer and equip the Church.
We believe that the Bible is Gods inspired word. It is our complete Statement of Faith, in matters of faith and conduct. It is without error in all its teachings, given to the Christian for guidance and edification.
We believe in the Great Commission of Jesus Christ, given to His disciples to reach all nations. It is Christ who leads us as we reach Muslims around the world.
We believe that all humans have sinned and fallen short of the Kingdom of God. Only through faith in Christ can they experience salvation and see the Kingdom of God.
We believe in one universal Church that is formed from every person washed by the Blood of the Lamb, regardless of their race, culture, religious background, and age.
We believe that Jesus Christ will personally and visibly return in glory to raise the dead and bring salvation and judgment to completion. God will fully manifest His Kingdom when He establishes a new heaven and a new earth, in which He will be glorified forever.
