Our mission is to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a world that is in desperate need of the Good News. We propose to do this by networking congregations and individuals who have a passion for the proclamation of the Gospel and a commitment to the calling of the Great Commission.\u00a0 In Matthew 28, we read:\u00a0\u201cAnd Jesus came and said to them,\u00a0\u201cAll authority\u00a0in heaven and on earth has been given to me.\u00a0Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,\u00a0teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Mission is the driver \u2013 the force, the inspiration behind everything that we do.\u00a0 Everything that we do, if we don\u2019t have mission attached to it, is going to be meaningless.\u00a0 The church exists in obedience and fulfillment of the Great Commission of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n During the month of April, Pastor Tony Ede hosts the Rev. Preston Foster, the Rev.
