Disciple-making

Campers at Cedar Crest Camp in Lyles, TN, study their Bibles.

Jesus' words in Matthew 28:19-20 are clear: "Go 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 obey everything that I've commanded you."

We are thankful for our church and those who have discipled us, teaching about God's love. Now, we continue living into the work, to both be disciples and make disciples.

Thanks be to God for the good news we share

Our United Methodist traditions of prayer, Bible study, fellowship, worship, Sacraments and serving others help us draw close to God and our community.

Being a faithful Jesus-follower means we reach out to those around us, meet people where they are and remain present in our communities.
