This article assumes a multifaceted understanding of the mission of the church. The mission of the church consists of both within the church mission, the purpose of which is the constant change of the church itself - the church is constantly reforming, and the external church mission, the purpose of which is to transform society and the world - the church that transforms the world. The Church is called to embody her external mission in a certain state. The state has a religious policy, therefore, a clearly formed political position on various social and political issues should be part of the mission of the church. The aim of this study is to try to define the fundamental principles that, regardless of the nature of the relationship between the Church and the state, should become fundamental in the formation of its political position and external mission. Through her mission of witnessing and reminding the state, the Church must remind the state of the absolute power of God, the value of human life and its primacy over the state and the nature of the law, which, on the one hand, reveals God's likeness in us, and on the other, prohibits us from humiliating and insulting this likeness in a different. This mission makes the church an inconvenient prophet in the state.
