DON'T MISS THE MAIN EVENT

As we approach Annual Conference this year, keep this sermon given by District Superintendent, Scot Ocke in mind.  This very important message reminds us of the true mission of Jesus Christ, to reach all people, not just those already within our church. We must remember to not get caught up in debate, and to remember our purpose as Disciples of Christ!
