Have you ever wondered why you are here? If you are a follower of Jesus, why didn’t God just zap you up once you became his child? On Sunday, we are going to see how Jesus began the greatest movement of all time and what that has to do with our collective purpose today. Join us for “Our Mission,” part of The Gospel According to John Series.
