Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 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.” Matthew 28:18-20 (NIV)

As a church, we embrace opportunities to spread the gospel of Jesus at home and around the world through missions partnerships. When we come together to show the love of Jesus Christ to people outside our four walls, we become part of something bigger than ourselves.
