‘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 28:16-20 (NIV)
The church is not meant to be static. We are sent by Jesus to be witnesses of his gospel and invite others to share the same life-transforming faith that we have been invited into.
We are committed to being obedient to this call and to thinking about how we might scatter the good news of Jesus far and wide by pioneering new things and planting new communities of faith.
