God's Mission of Restoration

Biblical foundations for our calling to restore all creation into shalom

Genesis 1:26-28

Dominion & Stewardship

"Then God said, 'Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.' So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, 'Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.'"
Genesis 1:26-28 (NIV)

Genesis 2:15

Care & Cultivation

"The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it."
Genesis 2:15 (NIV)

John 13:34

Love & Community

"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another."
John 13:34 (NIV)

John 5:17

Continuous Work

"In his defense Jesus said to them, 'My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working.'"

Revelation 21:3-4

Restoration & Hope

"And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, 'Look! God's dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.'"
Revelation 21:3-4 (NIV)

Missio Dei: God's Mission

We believe that God is actively working to restore all of creation to its intended wholeness and peace. This is not just a future hope, but a present reality we are called to participate in through our communities, relationships, and daily work.

"Make A Circle exists to be a tangible expression of God's restorative work, bringing together people from all nations and cultures to experience the peace, justice, and flourishing that God intends for all creation."
