Making Disciples  

Jesus calls us to 'go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything he has commanded' (Matt. 28:19-20). Our response to this great commission must therefore be reflected at the very heart of church life.

Churches work this out in a number of ways, often through small groups, whose aim is to grow through reaching out to unbelievers. Having believed, people need to be baptised in water and in the Holy Spirit, in order to live by the power of the Spirit.

Maturity in Christ

Making disciples also means bringing individuals to maturity in Christ in order that each one can fulfill God's plan for their lives. Our desire is that believers enjoy the grace of God, understanding that salvation is a gift that cannot be earned.

We want people to know that God has forgiven and accepted them solely because of what Jesus has done for them on the cross i.e. People who are certain of eternal life, getting to know Jesus better every day, experiencing His guidance, living for His glory, enjoying their involvement in His church and keen to reach out to others with the good news of the Gospel.
