Pathway to Discipleship

“Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?’ He said to him, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself’” (Matthew 22:36-39).

 

Rule of Discipleship:

To witness Jesus Christ in the world and to follow his teachings through acts of Compassion, Justice, Worship, and Devotion under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

We invite you to come this weekend to worship.
