"Then Jesus came to them and said, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 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, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age'." Matthew 28:18-20
The call to Christians is to take the message of Christ with us as we "go." One of the ways that we do this at Travis Oaks is by serving in local missions and beyond. By serving our community and our world, sharing the gospel with those in need, and seeing to the task of discipleship, we fulfill the commission of Christ. Below are just a few of the ways that we serve others in missions and descriptions of how you can serve as well!
