Committed to Messiah

And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 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, 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

Placing one’s faith in Jesus marks the beginning of the life-changing journey of following Him. While making disciples* is ultimately the work of the Holy Spirit, we also value being intentional in this process.
