We are continuing to work through our vision statement and tying the other pieces of mission, purpose, & message into the overall puzzle. Part 2 will walk you through what it means to “make disciples” & “reaching our community”. Be sure to listen through Part 1 as well if you haven’t already to be tuned into the whole message.
