What's Our Business?
Our Mission:
We believe growing churches are driven by the biblical mission purposed by God in the "2 GC's":
- The Great Commission: ...go, make disciples... baptizing them...,and teaching them. (Matt 28:18-20)
- The Great Commandment: love God...love others. (Matt 22:36-39)
We call it Making Fully Devoted Followers of Jesus Christ. (FDF)
Our Purposes:
Being purpose driven is not about being relevant or contemporary. It is about being biblical and eternal. The five purposes of the church as given to us by Jesus Christ in the Great Commandment and the Great Commission are eternal, and never go out of style. They are not a fad. While the methods and styles must change with every generation, the purposes of God never change.
