GNF Mission and Vision Statement

Good News Fellowship empowers and networks leaders and churches for Jesus-centered ministry. We do this through leadership learning environments, mission-driven partnerships, and relational accountability.

GNF Functional Structure

Area Leadership Teams are made up of 3-5 persons who will provide relational accountability and resources to the persons in an area. The “area” will eventually replace the term “district” and may be determined by relational and/or geographical connections. The area leadership team would include the primary leader for the area as well as other persons that he might choose to be on the team.

BRIEF HISTORY ABOUT US

In the early 1940’s, a group of Mennonite churches in Lancaster, Pennsylvania began to feel a burden for the unsaved, particularly those in areas where there was little Gospel witness.  There was already a growing movement of overseas missions work being done but some felt that we should not neglect those within our borders.  So Lancaster Mennonite Conference put together what was called an Itinerant Evangelism Committee.

Starting in 1943, and for the next 20 years or so, teams of persons mostly from northern Mennonite communities gave a portion of their summers to Bible School outreaches in the South.  A tent would be set up wherever permission was given.  Bible classes were held for children during the day and “revival” meetings were open to the parents and surrounding community each evening.  Generally these outreaches were in rural areas.

What we Believe

We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Crowd Praising

We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, authoritative, written Word of God.

We believe that the reality of sin in the human heart results in suffering, injustice, strife, and moral decay in society.
