The Mission
I want to take the next few days and talk about the mission of Southside Baptist Church.
By way of introduction, let me first of all define what I mean by “the mission”.
The mission is the compass that guides us.
It is what we are obsessed with, what we want to be known for, and it is the one thing that matters more than anything else.
The mission is the one thing that actually is sacred!
Most church mission statements I’ve seen are based off of Jesus’ last words here on earth (aka “The Great Commission”).
Ours is no different.
“Our mission is to love God, love People, and love the World on the journey to life change”
Over the next few days, I want to break down this mission statement into smaller pieces and talk about what this mission statement really means, and how we plan on making our mission happen.
