Jesus came and told his disciples, "I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Matthew 28:18-20
At SLW, we take the Great Commission very seriously!
We believe God has called us to support local, regional, national, and international ministries.
- At the local level, we partner with ministries like Helping Hands, while also taking a "Jerusalem Fund" offering each month to assist people with critical needs.
- At the regional and national levels, we partner with ministries like Hephzibah Children's Home, a ministry caring for abandoned, neglected, and abused children
- At the international level, we primarily partner with a variety of ministries in Haiti to help develop the National Wesleyan Church church and its members. We also support a variety of partners globally.
Of course, short-term serving opportunities and mission trips are a regular way we partner with the Great Commission, but we've also been tremendously blessed to see several from within our congregation step out to serve in long-term roles of local, regional, and international Kingdom service!
