Global Outreach International has at its core seven basic values. The core values define and shape our approach to ministry and the way we relate to each other. The seven core values are as follows:

MISSION PARTNERSHIPS — It is our desire to establish strategic mission partnerships with local churches (in the U.S. and abroad) in the sending of missionaries, both short-term and long-term, throughout the world.

EVANGELISM FOCUSED — The Great Commission compels us to make evangelism our first and primary focus. Everything we do must filter through the desire for and the purpose of evangelizing a lost and dying world.

DISCIPLESHIP DRIVEN — Matthew 28:19 clearly demonstrates that evangelism is incomplete without making disciples. Discipleship involves growth towards maturity and teaching converts to become “disciplers.”

COMPASSION MOTIVATED — Compassionate love moves us to reach out to the whole man: body, soul, and spirit. We want to help others help themselves.

RELATIONSHIP ORIENTED — We long to be a “great missions family” connected through the love of Christ. We are more than individuals in an organization; we are Global Outreach.

LOW BOUNDARIES — Education, age, marital status, family size, or physical handicaps should not build barriers to fulfilling God’s call to missions. If God calls you to it and you can dream it, we desire to help facilitate it.

INTEGRITY GUIDED — Global Outreach espouses accountability in action and are ECFA accredited. We value hard work, fiscal responsibility, and ethical practices that are above reproach.

We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God without error in the original writings (2 Timothy 3:16).
 
We believe in one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect, and eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Isaiah 45:22, Romans 11:36).

We believe that all people have sinned and come short of the glory of God; and that for the salvation of lost and sinful human beings, regeneration by the Holy Spirit through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ is absolutely essential (Romans 3:23, John 1:12, Titus 3:5).

We believe in the deity and virgin birth of our Lord Jesus Christ; that he died upon the cross as a substitutionary sacrifice for the sin of the world that he arose from the dead and ascended into heaven from whence he will return with power and glory (John 10:3, I Timothy 2:5-6, II Corinthians 15:3-4, Titus 2:13).

We believe in the doctrine of justification by faith, realizing that it is impossible for anyone through works to save themselves (Romans 5:1, Ephesians 2:8-9).

We believe in life after death; that “There shall be resurrection of the dead, both of the just and the unjust” (Acts 24:15).

We believe in the resurrection of the saved unto everlasting life in heaven and the resurrection of the unsaved unto eternal punishment in hell (I Thessalonians 4:16-17, II Thessalonians 1:7-9).

We believe that it is the responsibility of all believers in Christ to share the good news of Jesus as Savior and Lord to all people of the world. We believe we should do this in deeds of love and proclamation. We are therefore concerned about the physical, social, and spiritual needs of all people (Acts 1:8, Matthew 25:35-40).

We believe the following concerning marriage, gender, and sexuality.

We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female. These two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God. (Genesis 1:26-27.) Rejection of one’s biological sex is a rejection of the image of God within that person.

We believe that the term “marriage” has only one meaning: the uniting of one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture. (Genesis 2:18-25.) We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman who are married to each other. (1 Corinthians 6:18; 7:2-5; Hebrews 13:4.) We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman. 

We believe that any form of sexual immorality (including adultery, fornication, homosexual behavior, bisexual conduct, bestiality, incest, and use of pornography) is sinful and offensive to God. (Matthew 15:18-20; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10.)

We believe that it is imperative that all persons employed by the corporation in any capacity, or who serve as volunteers, agree to and abide by this Statement on Marriage, Gender, and Sexuality. (Matthew 5:16; Philippians 2:14-16; 1 Thessalonians 5:22.) 

We believe that God offers redemption and restoration to all who confess and forsake their sin, seeking His mercy and forgiveness through Jesus Christ. (Acts 3:19-21; Romans 10:9-10; 1 Corinthians 6:9-11.) 

We believe that every person must be afforded compassion, love, kindness, respect, and dignity. (Mark 12:28-31; Luke 6:31.) Hateful and harassing behavior or attitudes directed toward any individual are to be repudiated and are not in accord with Scripture nor the beliefs of the corporation.
