Our mission\u2013<\/b> Jesus appeared to His disciples in Galilee-Matt. 28: 16-20 After Jesus rose from the dead and showed Himself to His disciples, He gathered His disciples and told them to go and make disciples of all nations. The church should be clear on it\u2019s mission. A disciple is a student who is training to follow his master. We are to seek the lost and lead them to the Lord. Once they receive Christ, we are to baptize them, symbolically illustrating their death and resurrection in Christ. Then we are to teach them to do all that Christ has commanded us. That involves active training, not the passive attendance which is common in many churches today. Every church board should open every meeting with the questions \u201cWhat can we do to win souls?\u201d and \u201cWhat can we do to train our members to be better disciples?\u201d Now is a good time to finalize plans for a summer campaign to reach those who do not know Christ.<\/p>\n
