To glorify God by being and making disciples of JESUS in all nations.
Vision: To Glorify God
Mission: Be and Make Disciples of JESUS
How do we accomplish this mission? We look to Jesus as an example. “And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”” (Matthew 4:19, ESV)
- CALL (Jesus said “Follow me”), we call people to follow Jesus in salvation and obedience.
- EQUIP (Jesus said “I will make you”), there is a process that Jesus went through to equip the disciples for service/ ministry. Below are a few elements of that process:
- Leading by example
- Teaching
- Accountability
- Fellowship
- Testing
- Prayer
- Corporate Worship
- SEND (Jesus sent them to be “fishers of men”)
GOAL: In All Nations
- “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, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”” (Matthew 28:19–20, ESV)
- “And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.” (Mark 16:15, ESV)
- “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”” (Acts 1:8, ESV)
