"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 28.19-20
At Wheaton Bible Church, we believe that Jesus' Great Commission to the Church in Matthew is not only the task of our missionaries, but of the whole congregation.

If you want to jump in, but you're not sure how, please let us know! Contact Shannon at sniermann@wheatonbible.org. We want you to be a part of this journey.
