    • Come to the table
      During Jesus’ ministry on earth, tables—and the meals shared around them—were an important part of his school of discipleship. Professor and author Robert Karris writes, “In Luke’s Gospel, Jesus is either going to a meal, at a meal or coming from a meal.” New Testament scholar N. T. Wright says, “When Jesus himself wanted to explain to his disciples what his forthcoming death was all about, he didn’t give them a theory, he gave them a meal.” When Jesus invites his followers to the table, the meal is open to all—men and women, slave and free, Jew and Greek. Jesus’ […]
    • Why our lenses matter
      Every human sees the world through their own unique and distinct cultural lens. But what does that mean? What is a cultural lens and how does that affect how we interact with our neighbors and our brothers and sisters in the faith? How do I know what my own cultural lens is and how it differs from others? How can we as a USMB family seek to understand each other better when our cultural lenses are very different? There is a significant cue in what John encounters in Revelation 7 and the implications that come out of it. After John […]
    • Pastor focuses on church planting, leadership development
      With 30 churches and almost 10,000 members in three countries, Grace Tabernacle Ministries (GTM) has grown significantly since its humble beginning in Kenya with seven Congolese refugees in 2009. Founding pastor Emmanuel Musinga, who now pastors in Indianapolis, Indiana, borrowed $300 from a former primary school teacher to build a roof for the fledgling church. “The Bible says, ‘Don’t despise the small beginnings,’” Musinga says. “Just listen to the voice of God, and follow the passion that God has given to you.” Musinga’s passion is for church planting, leadership development and children’s education, and today, the church he founded has […]
  • WHAT WE DO
    • Disciple-Making
      •  
        USMB is actively involved in helping provide our churches with dynamic ideas, resources and programs for encouraging people to become fully-devoted followers of Jesus. Jesus said, “Go and make disciples….” We strive to facilitate that profound command. READ MORE about Disciple-making.Read More
    • Leadership Development
      •  
        USMB’s leadership development strategy stems from the real need to actively develop more leaders within the local church who are living on mission in the workplace and in their communities and to fulfill the demand for additional pastors, church planters and missionaries. READ MORE about Leadership Development opportunities.Read More
    • Church Multiplication
      •  
        Church planting continues to be a crucial area of ministry for USMB. Studies show churches are the most effective way to bring more people into the family of God. Partnering with local churches, districts, USMB and Multiply to plant churches, is not just a good thing to do, we must do it.Read More

Resolución de inmigración 2018

Reconocemos que los problemas de inmigración son complejos. También reconocemos y apreciamos la reciente orden ejecutiva del 20 de junio del 2018 de cesar la separación de las familias inmigrantes. No podemos apoyar ni afirmar las políticas de inmigración del Gobierno de los Estados Unidos que existen para separar a los niños de sus padres. El Dios de compasión y misericordia que ordenó a la familia, pide justicia al cuidado de viudas, huérfanos y extranjeros en la tierra. (Ex. 22: 21-23)

La confesión de fe a la que nos sometemos es:

Dios es un refugio y una fortaleza para los necesitados. (Artículo 1)

Con palabras y hechos, Jesús proclamó el reino de Dios, trayendo buenas nuevas a los pobres, liberación a los cautivos y recuperación de la vista para los ciegos. (Artículo 1)

Los humanos son el acto de coronación de la creación de Dios. (Artículo 3)

Jesús enseña que sus discípulos deben amar a Dios y al prójimo diciendo las buenas nuevas y haciendo hechos de amor y compasión. (Artículo 7)

Dios quiere que las relaciones familiares en todas las etapas de la vida se caractericen por el amor. Los niños son un regalo de Dios y los padres deben instruir y nutrir a sus hijos en la fe. (Artículo 11)

Creemos que Dios instituyó el estado para promover el bienestar de todas las personas. Los cristianos cooperan con otros en la sociedad para defender a los débiles, cuidar a los pobres y promover la justicia, la rectitud y la verdad. Los creyentes son testigos de la corrupción, la discriminación y la injusticia, ejercen la responsabilidad social, pagan impuestos y obedecen todas las leyes que no entran en conflicto con la Palabra de Dios. (Artículo 12)

Los seguidores de Cristo respetan y oran por aquellos con autoridad para que prevalezca el orden pacífico. (Artículo 12)

Como pacificadores, aliviamos el sufrimiento, reducimos las luchas, promovemos la justicia y trabajamos para poner fin a la violencia y la guerra, para que otros puedan ver una demostración del amor de Cristo. (Artículo 13)

Creemos que la vida humana le pertenece a Dios. Cada persona es creada a imagen de Dios y debe ser celebrada y nutrida. Cristo llama a la gente de todas las naciones a cuidar a los indefensos. (Artículo 14)

Por lo tanto, llamamos a los líderes del gobierno de los Estados Unidos, por quienes oramos, a que deroguen permanentemente la práctica de separar a las familias y trabajar activamente para reunir rápidamente a las familias que ya están separadas.
