SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION We EMBODY the mission of Jesus Christ through service-filled lives that work to feed the poor, liberate the oppressed, welcome the stranger, clothe the naked, and visit those who are sick or imprisoned. We EQUIP the body to both discern and perfect the various gifts of individual members for the work of Christ here on earth. We EMPOWER the people of Ebenezer to impact the world by bearing witness to the God of love and justice through Jesus Christ. We EVANGELIZE those who have not accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Liberator. We ENLIST the people of our community
