Pastor Matt Hodge (Discipleship Pastor) - Matthew 28:18-20; Luke 24:46-48; Acts 1:6-8; John 3:16-18; 14:15; 20:19-23
What kind of church do we want to be? Friendly, generous, serving—all of these are good, but if we want to be faithful to Jesus, there's one thing we must be: a disciple-producing church. In this lesson, we explore the Great Commission as found in Matthew 28 and echoed across the New Testament. Jesus calls us to a life of mission—preaching the Gospel so others can find Him, and obeying His commands so we can follow Him. This is more than a church mission statement—it's the heartbeat of the Christian life. Whether you’re a longtime believer or just beginning to explore faith, this conversation will inspire you to take your next step in the cycle of discipleship that multiplies and transforms.

Are we willing to move beyond good intentions and take Jesus’ final command seriously? Find & Follow is a 9-week journey designed to help you step boldly into the Great Commission. In the first half of the series, we’ll explore how to share the gospel—from trusting its power to telling our personal stories and living as a witness.
