WHY THE SCUAD?

• Matthew 28: Jesus' commission and vision: “Go make disciples of all nations.” God built the Boston Church to be a large, loving and faithful church that was multiracial from its beginning in 1979.

• John 17: Jesus prayed for us to be one. A diverse church does not always mean a unified church. To grow deeper in unity, the needs of our multicultural people must be addressed.

PURPOSE

• Greater unity. (Ephesians 4:3)

• Greater love for one another. Helping every member regardless of culture, race, nationality, etc. feel respected and valued. (John 15:13, Romans 15:7)

• Greater effectiveness in reaching all nations. (Matthew 5:13, Matthew 28:18)
