Mission, Vision and Values

Our Mission

The mission of SAM Ministries is to love God and love people so they have a chance to love God and love People. Jesus made it clear that this was God’s “greatest” or most important commandment, and so reflects His greatest desire for mankind.

We believe that this most important command expresses both the purpose for Jesus’ great commission in Matthew 28:18-20, and also the process for this great commission. The purpose for Christ’s coming, and His commission, is so that the relationship between God and man is restored. The only effective process to achieving this is an expression of love for people that simply refuses to give up on them.

Uncompromising love for God and unconditional love for people is both God’s greatest desire and life’s greatest pursuit.

Our Vision

Our vision is to empower people by addressing their spiritual, educational, emotional and physical needs, resulting in whole people who are equipped to reach and teach their own people. This is accomplished through a variety of contextually relevant ministries that address a broad range of needs and help to achieve the vision.

Our Primary Strategy

We believe that the Church is the hope of the world and our strategy is to see local leadership empowered and relevant, Biblically honest, local expressions of Christ’s body (the local church) multiplied in close proximity to every man, woman and child in our sphere of influence.
