Dear Church Family,
This weekend, we continue our DiscipleShift series with Pastor Caleb preaching on the Great Commission in Matthew 28:16–20: “Go and make disciples of all nations…”
While disciple-making can sound intimidating, Jesus’ vision is simple and personal. It happens through everyday relationships—around tables, in Connect Groups, and among family, friends, and neighbors.
It is easy to keep our faith private or assume someone else is better equipped. Yet Jesus invites every follower to join his mission right where they are. Best of all, this command comes with a great promise: “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” We do not do this alone! So invite a friend and join us this weekend as we worship Jesus together!
