Great Commission central?

'Help our diverse community follow Jesus and bless the world.'

Caution

Denominational home, elder plurality, or external network — is the pastor answerable to anyone?

Independent Bible Church — egalitarian departure from historical complementarian Bible Church tradition.

WARNING!
