"What is the mission of the church?"

"In short, we will argue that the mission of the church is summarized in the Great Commission passages14—the climactic marching orders Jesus issues at the ends of the Gospels and at the beginning of Acts. We believe the church is sent into the world to witness to Jesus by proclaiming the gospel and making disciples of all nations. This is our task. This is our unique and central calling."
