The Great Commission is a commission to build the church of Christ on earth. The universal church manifests itself in local churches, and it is a command of God that every believer who has the means to be in a biblical church congregate faithfully. Furthermore, Christ, being the sole head of the church, has delegated His authority through His Word to His church. Therefore, our mission centers on the local church, to submit to its authority, to have full fellowship with it, to build it up, and to plant new churches that are governed by the Word and Spirit of God according to His Word. We love the church of God!
