WIN kids to Christ and GROW them spiritually
“Teacher, which command in the law is most important?” Jesus answered, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind.’ This is the first and most command. And the second command is like the first: ‘Love your neighbor as you love yourself.’ All the law and the writings of the prophets depend on these two commands. (Matt. 22:36-40)
"So go and make followers of all people in the world. Baptize them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach them to obey everything that I have told you. You can be sure that I will be with you always. I will continue with you until the end of the world." (Matt. 28:19-20)
