Mission (Why We Exist)
Our mission is to do what Jesus said: To go and make disciples who love God and people.
It is a collision of what’s known as the Great Commandment & the Great Commission.
Great Commandment
“And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
Mark 12:30-31 (ESV)
Great Commission
“And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Matthew 28: 18-20 (ESV)
This drives every decision we make, discussion we have, and direction we take.
Vision (Where We Are Going)
Ultimately, we envision a movement of countless people fulfilling Jesus’ mission “To go and make disciples who love God and people” through various expressions of church spread throughout multiple venues of all types, sizes, and vibes around the world beginning in Rapid City, SD.
Audacious? Yes. Impossible? No.
