THE GREAT COMMITMENT (CHURCH MISSION)
And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. 43 Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. 44 Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, 45 and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need. 46 So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved. We commit to build a healthy church with five characteristics:
1. Worship: Christ-Centered
2. Fellowship: Authentic, caring, loving Stewards
3. Discipleship: Become mature to live under lordship
4. Ministry: Serving others in Jesus
5. Evangelism: share life and hope with others
