Everyday Disciples (2022 Midground Vision) 

Matthew 4:19 (NIV84) – “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”  

A collective journey of what it means to follow Jesus, be changed by Jesus, and be committed to the mission of Jesus every day. (Matthew 4:19) We seek to be disciples of Jesus in every place, every relationship and in every circumstance in our everyday lives. It is how we will carry out or mission to “Share Life and Share Christ”.  

“Come, follow me,” (following) 

• A decision of the Head: Have you committed your life to Jesus? Have you turned your heart to follow Him?

“and I will make you” (changed) 

• Transformation of the Heart: Does your life look different? Is your heart different?

“fishers of men” (on Mission) 

• Mobilization of the Hands: Are you making disciples?
