So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31 ESV
The purpose of our church: Glorify God.
“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these
two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.” Matthew 22:37-40 ESV
“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 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, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20 ESV
The mission of our church: Love God, Love People, Make Disciples.
A God-sized Goal: To glorify God through disciples, making disciples, making disciples, making disciples, etc.
