As a community of faith, we embrace the great commission given to us by Jesus Christ and recorded for us at the end of Matthew’s gospel. This commission is our guiding purpose and goal… “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matt 28:19-20, NIV)
