~ The Mission - Group Member Book offers convenient access to a small group experience for six sessions, applicable Scripture, and individual study created for personal discipleship.

As the church of Jesus, we are a people on a mission. We are a people who serve others, enjoy fellowship with one another, and seek to obey the commands of our Savior as we go into all the world and make disciples. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was sent by the Father on His mission to seek and save the lost; the Son now sends us in the power of the Spirit to proclaim Jesus that the lost may be found.
