Making Christ known to people both near and far lies at the heart of South Dayton Presbyterian Church. To help fulfill that charge, our Missions Committee coordinates opportunities to support full-time missionaries and engage in the work of missions themselves. There are opportunities to pray, encourage, financially support, host visiting missionaries and even participate directly in making disciples through missions.
The Great Commission
And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore 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 observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20
