Commissioning

“Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has  been given to me. 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.” 
–Matthew 28:18-20

This text, known as the great commission, has mobilized the Church for centuries. We believe it is our task as Christ’s Church to continue his mission in revealing His Kingdom. Because we have received life in Christ, we offer our lives to give others that opportunity. The followers of Christ bear the weight of telling the World that the Kingdom of Christ has arrived. 

May we go from this place prepared to reveal the Kingdom of Jesus, together.

Living God, draw us deeper into your love;
Jesus our Lord, send us to care and serve;
Holy Spirit, make us heralds of good news.

Stir us, strengthen us, teach and inspire us to live your love with generosity and joy, imagination and courage; for the sake of your world and in the name of Jesus,

Amen
