Missions & Outreach
Description
To train, encourage and exhort the church. concerning their participation in the LORD's Great Commission.
We believe that each Christian is called to a wonderful life of obedience to Jesus. One of his clearest commands is that of bringing lost people to a saving knowledge of Him. God calls us to reach the lost across the street and around the world.
Matthew 28:19–20 (ESV)
19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
