Welcome to the resources page of the Mission Theology & Apologetics Group (MTAG). We provide creative and useful materials for Christian denominations in the areas of Spirituality, Theology, Reconciliation, Evangelism, Apologetics and Mission. Much of our work reflects the holistic nature of the five 'marks' of mission.
The mission of the Church is the mission of Christ.
- To proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom
- To teach, baptise and nurture new believers
- To respond to human need by loving service
- To transform unjust structures of society, to challenge violence of every kind and pursue peace and reconciliation
- To strive to safeguard the integrity of creation, and sustain and renew the life of the earth
