Our mission is Jesus’ last command: "…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” (Matthew 28.18-19a). Jesus’ call to make new disciples helps fuel our desire to be better ones—which helps attract lost people to Jesus! Our practices flow from Jesus’ first command, “Come, follow me….” (Matthew 4.19). Following Jesus means doing what he did: engage with God, God’s family, and God’s world. These lifelong practices enable us to grow in receiving and being transformed by God’s grace in Christ, no matter where we are on a discipleship continuum. http://www.lbcrc.org
