EVANGELISM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To pursue holistic ministry among the members of this Diocese in particular and the people within the See in generals; employing diverse evangelistic means such as outreaches, revivals, crusades and church planting in parishes and locality found necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. DISCIPLESHIP<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help every member of this Diocese to be true disciple of Christ, well grounded in the WORD (Bible) and living out the same to display true Christian virtues and influence others unto right living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. ECUMENISM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To lead a Church that has regard for other denominations, especially those with the common Christian purpose of fulfilling Christ\u2019s injunction \u2018that they may be one\u2019; bringing all to the knowledge and love of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. THE YOUTHS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To bridge the gap between the youths and the adults of the Diocese by creating a conducive atmosphere for the youths to express themselves as full fledged members of the Church and for the Church to be responsible enough to proffer solution to the quest of this up-coming generation of its membership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. THE CHRISTIAN PARENTS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To encourage our young ones (male and female) to solemnize their relationship the Christian way by undertaking the Christian rites of marriage and sustaining the same as a life-long contract; and to support such couple to practice positive parenting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6. THE AGED AND THE VULNERABLES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To give more attention to the welfare of the aged, children, orphans, widows\/widowers, indigents and other vulnerable groups (both in the church and our immediate society), being their voice and treating them with much concern and dignity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7. ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To provide our members (especially the youths and those in the sub-urban areas) with information that will boost their economic prowess; exposing them to employment opportunities, linking them to profitable outlets of their products and increasing their productivity through provision of social amenities, agro-allied services and the likes. The Diocese will continue to expand its economic base by increasing its investment in long term and profitable ventures, thereby reducing the financial commitments of our churches to the Diocese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To create awareness among its members and the immediate society about the importance of sustaining a healthy and conducive environment by educating them on hygienic living; disseminating necessary information about proper waste disposal, preservation and recreation of a true ecological environment, sponsoring and actively participating in activities that will reduce pollution; thereby curbing the breakdown of the ozone layer which results in serious health challenges.<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OUR VISION Egba Diocese exists to holistically preach the Gospel of Christ to reach the entire Egbaland, to enable it to recover its primary status as the agent for disseminating the message of salvation in order to make disciples for Christ and to bring social transformation to our immediate community and the nation.
