Because Jesus started it.

3. Loving Others. (Loving your neighbour as yourself)
4. Discipleship including Baptism


Ephesians 2:19 Living Bible
19 Now you are no longer strangers to God and foreigners to heaven, but you are members of God’s very own family, citizens of God’s country, and you belong in God’s household with every other Christian.


5. To Teach people to obey the ways of Jesus
What happens when the church excels in the reasons it exists.
The church outworks its purpose and the church overflows in the fruit from its purpose

Families being redeemed

Isaiah 58:9a,12 ESV
9 Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; you shall cry, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’
