Witness

Believing that Jesus has commissioned His followers to share the Gospel in Matthew 28: 19-20; 

"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."

Our purpose is to...

• Reach out with the Gospel message of God's love and salvation (evangelism)
• Encourage growth in the study of God's Word in truth and purity (discipleship)
