Lingadzi CCAP mandate is derived from the Holy Scriptures as given in the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20). The mandate is further derived from Nkhoma Synod vision and elaborated in the Practice and Procedure Document of the Synod. The mandates of Lingadzi CCAP are also drawn from the various resolutions of the Nkhoma Synod and other organs and also the decisions of Mpando Presbytery and those reached by the Session as provided for within the Practice and Procedure Document. The Scriptures say that the object and purpose for which the Church exists is to preach and teach the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

To achieve this mandate the Church will be guided by its vision, mission and core values.
