Ministering to people outside the walls of the church is a mandate given by Jesus himself in Matthew 28:19-20. Yet it has been said that you cannot give what you do not have. And that’s why we love FirstPres: we can meet in the house of God, be filled with the good news of Jesus Christ, and go forth as the hands and feet of Jesus.
One of the best parts? First Pres has a rich tradition of covering this entire experience in prayer. So next time you are in the sanctuary, look for a great symbol of this: angels bent in supplication for the people of God meeting together to love and serve Him in our city—and beyond.
