Our Mission


What is our Mission? Take sometime to think about what your answer should be! Pray about what God would have you to do! What does God expect of us? These are questions that I have been thinking a lot about lately. These are questions that I believe we need to answer. First I believe that our mission is simply the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20). We are to make disciples! We are to baptize the people who become disciples. We are to teach those whom we baptize the things that Jesus taught us from His word. The second thing is that we are to love God and love people this the Great Commandment (Matthew 22:37; 39) We simply need to love God above all because He is our all in all! If we love God and love people, it will help new believers in their process of becoming an obedient follower of Jesus. When they see Jesus in you, it will help them to fall madly in love with Christ also. The answer to the third part of this is in you! If we follow the Great Commission and love God and People like the Great Commandment says we will be motivated to do ministry! When we do ministry we must remember what the Apostle Paul said in his letter to the Romans. In verse 3:10 we see the triple negative (In KJV) “As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one:” So when we are doing ministry we need to look at people through the eyes of Christ! His sight is not clouded by predetermined thoughts or prejudged attitudes. He simply looked out over the masses, and was moved with compassion! When we look at lost people, we need to be moved with compassion. We need to meet peoples spiritual needs the way that Jesus did. The Great Commission and the Great Commandment should motivate you to do ministry. They should motivate you to fall in love with the Savior of the world! Today I want to encourage you to look at the people that you come into contact with, with the eyes of Jesus. It will change the way you see them! I promise! I love you all…
