Our Mission:
Our mission is to make disciples who make disciples. The mission of the church remains unchanged in an ever-changing world. In Matthew 28:19-20, Jesus gave His Church the Great Commission to GO and make disciples of all nations. In Acts 1:8, Jesus specifies that our mission starts across our own streets and extends around the world. One of the ways we have carried out our mission in recent years is through our #lighttheonefive initiative. It is an intentional effort to make disciples, reaching the world for Jesus, starting with our own zip code 46815.
