Steve Goolsby

outreach ministry team leader

Jesus said, "Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 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
Jesus invited every believer to be involved in the mission of telling others about Him.  Unfortunately today over 60% of our local community is currently unchurched, uninvolved or concerned about spiritual matters.  Many of these same individuals do not have a relationship with Jesus Christ. As a result, these individuals are destined to spend eternity outside of the presence of God.

Steve leads our church's efforts of engaging followers of Christ in the Great Commission of our Lord.
