"Go and Make Disciples" 

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”   
"Matthew 28:18A disciple of Jesus is one who has firmly decided to learn from Jesus how to lead their life, whatever that may be, as Jesus himself would do it.  And, as best they know how, they are making plans—taking the necessary steps, progressively arranging and rearranging their affairs—to do this."  - Dallas Willard

To learn from Jesus how to live life means that we need to do the things that Jesus did: pray, study the scriptures, engage in community, and serve.  Our plan of spiritual growth at St. Matthew’s is for everyone who calls St. Matthew’s their home to grow in these important areas that Jesus modeled for us.  We also believe that the optimal place to experience spiritual growth is in a small group.  As it says in Proverbs “as iron sharpens iron so one person sharpens another.”  Small groups are places where we study the Bible, pray for each other.  Below is a listing of small groups.  For more information contact Pastor Gordon at pastorgkp@hotmail.com, or 784-3176
