Pastor Daniel Spencer

Commissioned

Church Growth Director Anton Kapusi

Oct 5, 2024

After his resurrection, Jesus extended the call and commissioned his disciples five times in five different ways. He introduced them to his mission and invited them to do the same. As followers of Christ, we embraced the mission of Christ at our baptism and swore our loyalty to Him and His kingdom. Or have we? The church (body of Christ) is on a cycle of life. What is needed for a church to stop declining and dying and be vibrant and renewed again?
