Mission, Vision, and Values
The MISSION of CMMA
What we do?
For God's glory, CMMA is committed to equipping Christians in the medical community of Birmingham to worship God and to be involved in reaching the medical community of Birmingham and the world for Christ.
Vision
What we desire to see in the future.
If we are faithful in carrying out our mission we expect to see the following:
-People coming to Christ regularly through the ministry.
-People being built into mature followers of Christ through small group and one to one discipleship.
-Marriages being saved from destruction, enabling married medical people to be a light in a dark place and bringing hope to those struggling in this area.
-People leaving Birmingham and continuing to win and build others wherever the Lord sends them in the USA or to other countries as missionaries or medical professionals who live out the gospel in medicine.
-The medical profession being influenced in a godly way, eg to value and treat people as whole persons, not just bodies.
Key Biblical passages that inform our purpose and methods:
Matthew 22:36-39: "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?"
And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and
with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment.
And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
Romans 8:29: For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to
the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
Matthew 28:18-20: And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on
earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you
always, to the end of the age."
Ephesians 4:11-14: And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and
teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body
of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of
God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so
that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about
by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes.
Ephesians 5:31-32: "Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his
wife, and the two shall become one flesh." This mystery is profound, and I am saying
that it refers to Christ and the church.
