Motto

Each year we adopt a motto that guides teaching and congregational life. Explore the current motto and past years.

Current motto

2026

Family

The family is the home where Christian faith is formed and passed on. Firm principles sustain generations, and when homes are strengthened, God's work is affirmed and projected into the future.

2025

Generations

Under this motto, MWM reaffirms the Bible as an eternal and unchanging legacy. The commitment is to instruct new generations in biblical principles so they rise as witnesses to God's power.

2024

Harmony

Harmony transcends the feeling of love: it is the balance of distinct parts united in a common purpose. As we integrate, we achieve the equilibrium needed to advance God's work and reflect His glory.

2023

Testimony

On the 60th anniversary of the ministry, the Testimony motto calls us to live a holy, transparent life-precious as a glass vessel that must be guarded carefully on the path still ahead.

2022

Availability

Serving the Lord is life's greatest privilege, but it requires humility and recognizing that without Him we are nothing. It is in that humility that sincere readiness is born to answer: "Here am I, send me."

2021

Stability

Our spiritual life is like a castle that must be founded on Christ and His word. In difficult times, that foundation gives us the stability to withstand the enemy's many attacks.

2020

Kyrios

Jesus rose and was exalted as Kyrios, Lord above every name. Let us acknowledge Him today as the Supreme Authority and Master of our lives and of this missionary work.

2019

Shekinah

God dwells among His people like a fire that burns and accompanies us at every step. His presence strengthens the path, revives the Spirit and lets the work advance with transforming power.

2018

Credibility

In times of distrust, credibility inspires confidence through deeds that adorn our witness. The believer reflects security, well-being and consistency between what they profess and how they live.

2017

Responsibility

A quality that allows no excuses: it directs us to fulfill obligations and accept commitments with their consequences. God does not call us to live by "I can't," but to trust His Word.

2016

Righteousness

Righteousness guarantees an authentic relationship with God, rooted in the values of a true child of His. On the 45th anniversary of the ministry, MWM reaffirms its unwavering obedience to Scripture.

2015

Loyalty

Each motto is a compass guiding commitment to God for the sake of evangelism. Loyalty demands honor, faithfulness and gratitude toward Him who has entrusted us with His work.

2014

Conviction

Conviction is the force that keeps believers anchored to the truth of Scripture. It calls the church to awake and walk with certainty that God is real.

2013

Hold

It calls us to hold firm what we have received: doctrine, principles, values, vision and holiness. In a changing world, God urges us to keep what we have so no one takes our crown.

2012

Submission

Submission to God is not weakness, but the attitude that opens the heart to His direction. It is the key that opens the door to the blessings reserved for those who seek the Lord with a surrendered heart.

2011

Commitment

Being a Christian requires a consecrated life and a firm purpose to serve the Lord. Commitment unites inner conviction with daily action to sustain the work with constancy and faithfulness.

2010

Will

Knowing the truth is not enough; we must decide to walk according to the Father's will. A will surrendered to the Lord is the foundation of every authentic Christian life.

2009

Service

Christian service is not an optional role, but the natural expression of one redeemed by Christ. Every believer is called to serve with humility, brotherly love and actions that build up the church.

2008

Communion

The church is a spiritual body united by faith, where communion means sharing doctrine, the Lord's Supper and brotherly love. When we persevere together in apostolic teaching, our witness is strengthened.

2007

Sincerity

God looks at the heart and values truth above appearances. Sincerity is shown in genuine repentance, honest confession and conduct consistent with the faith we profess.

2006

Multiplication

God's work grows when each believer fulfills their responsibility to win souls and build the church. Spiritual multiplication happens when the knowledge of Christ spreads from heart to heart.

2005

Humility

Entering the kingdom requires recognizing our own need and depending on God with simplicity. Humbling ourselves under the Lord's hand opens the path to forgiveness, restoration and exaltation in due time.

2004

Forgiveness

Christ cleanses us from all sin, but the forgiveness we receive also requires forgiving others. Extending that grace restores the church's harmony and proves we have understood the gospel.

2003

Mission

The church was appointed to fulfill the Great Commission: preach, baptize and teach every creature. Every member is called to be light and salt, carrying the message of salvation with the same commitment as the first believers.

2002

Fruitfulness

Spiritual fruitfulness is the result of remaining united to Christ, the true vine. Apart from Him we can do nothing; in union with Him, the church bears much fruit and fulfills its purpose.

2001

Purity

God is holy and requires His children to be clean from all impurity, separated from sin and wholly dedicated to the Lord. Inner purity is shown in a righteous life that honors God and strengthens our witness.

2000

Triumph

The believer's victory does not depend on their own strength, but on Christ's triumph over sin, death and hell. Everyone born of God overcomes the world through faith and perseveres with confidence in the Lord's work.

1999

Integrity

Integrity is consistency between what the believer professes and how they live. Walking uprightly strengthens Christian witness, builds up the congregation and gives spiritual assurance to those who trust in God's Word.

1998

Strength

The believer's strength does not come from human pride, but from trust in God and faithful waiting on His promises. Those who wait on the Lord renew their strength and persevere in service, prayer and obedience.

1997

Conquest

Spiritual conquest is not personal ambition, but faith's triumph over sin and the forces opposing the gospel. In Christ we are more than conquerors as we win souls, build lives and remain faithful to the doctrine.

1996

Consecration

Consecrating oneself to the Lord means setting life apart from the world and dedicating it entirely to His service. The consecrated believer presents themselves as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God in body, soul and spirit.

1995

Prayer

Prayer is both privilege and duty for the Christian: to worship God, ask for what is needed and intercede for others. The believer who prays with faith and wholeheartedness becomes a blessing to the church.

1994

Intercession

Interceding means bringing others' needs before God: those of the church, the sick and those who do not yet know Christ. When the church intercedes with faith and perseverance, fellowship is strengthened and God's work advances with power.

1993

Perseverance

Persevering means remaining faithful to God when initial enthusiasm gives way to trials. The church grows when its members keep doing good with constancy, trusting that in due season we shall reap if we do not grow weary.

1992

Steadfastness

Christian steadfastness grows from anchoring life in God's Word and faith in Christ. Facing worldly pressures and difficulties, the believer must remain unmoved in the truth of the gospel.

Obedience

Obeying God is the proof of genuine love for Christ and a living faith. Walking in obedience opens the way to spiritual power, strengthens witness and allows the church to fulfill its mission with integrity.

Humility

Humility is recognizing our need for God and depending on His grace without pretension. Humbling ourselves before the Lord opens the way to repentance, forgiveness and the harmony that strengthens our Christian witness.

1989

Glory

The believer's entire life should be oriented toward God's glory. When we live in holiness, pray faithfully and serve with love, our conduct leads others to glorify the Father at home, in worship and in service.

1988

Holiness

God is holy and requires His children to be likewise: clean from impurity, separated from sin and wholly dedicated to the Lord. Holiness is attained through faith, the blood of Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit.

1987

Faithfulness

Faithfulness means remaining loyal to God in doctrine, conduct and service. It involves sustaining the work with constancy, keeping harmony among brethren and persevering in truth with dedication and responsibility.

1986

Fire

Fire symbolizes God's purifying presence and the power of His Word. The believer needs that spiritual zeal to overcome lukewarmness, burn for lost souls and serve the Lord with fervor.

1985

Pentecost

Pentecost marks the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the beginning of a new stage in gospel ministry. God still fills those who seek Him with faith and obedience, giving power to witness and build up the church.

1984

Revival

Spiritual revival restores the believer and the church to fervor in faith, prayer and obedience to the Word. God calls us back to Him with repentance to renew our witness and rekindle passion for souls.

1983

Unity

The church of Christ is a spiritual body united by faith and apostolic doctrine. Keeping harmony among brethren strengthens Christian witness and allows God's work to advance with solidarity and brotherly love.

1982

Harvest

The spiritual harvest represents souls the Lord prepares to receive the gospel. Every member is called to win souls, trusting that in due season we shall reap if we do not grow weary in doing good.

1981

Redemption

Redemption is the foundation of faith: Christ paid the price for our sins and freed us from the power of evil. Whoever has been rescued by grace lives in gratitude and proclaims the gospel in holiness.

1980

Cry

Crying out to God means lifting the heart's voice with urgency, faith and dependence. When the church cries out together, fellowship is strengthened and we experience the response of Him who invites us to seek Him.

1979

Sacrifice

Christian sacrifice begins at the cross, where Christ gave His life for humanity. In response, the believer presents their body as a living sacrifice and consecrates time, resources and service to the Lord.

1978

Diligence

The Christian life requires constant dedication to perfect holiness and persevere in the Lord's work. The believer's effort responds faithfully to God's call, trusting that the Lord gives strength.

1977

Victory

The believer's victory rests in Christ, who conquered sin, death and hell. Through faith we triumph over the world and face trials with the assurance that in the Lord we are more than conquerors.

1976

Anointing

The anointing of the Holy Spirit equips the believer to serve God with power and discernment. It is the investiture that accompanies the consecrated servant and prepares them to fulfill the entrusted work effectively.

1975

Expansion

God's work expands when the church faithfully fulfills the Great Commission: preach, win souls and establish new congregations. That missionary drive continues to guide the church in carrying Christ's light everywhere.

1974

Vision

Spiritual vision guides the church's path and gives purpose to each generation of believers. Looking beyond the immediate and advancing according to God's plan drives obedience and keeps the congregation united in mission.

1973

Power

The spiritual power the church needs comes from the Holy Spirit, not human effort. Baptism in the Spirit equips the believer to preach, build up and serve effectively in the Great Commission.

1972

Action

Christian faith is proven in deeds, not words alone. The church advances when its members act according to doctrine: winning souls, sustaining the work and confirming through works that living faith glorifies God.

1971

Advance

Advancing in the Lord's work means persevering in preaching the gospel, even amid trials or adversity. When believers remain firm in doctrine and active in service, God's work continues to spread with purpose.

1970

Impact

The believer's impact is measured by the mark their life leaves on the world. The church is called to be light and salt: a community whose holy conduct and faithful witness draws others to Christ.
