Synopsis
God means to fulfill the Great Commission through local churches. How did the apostles and the churches of the New Testament obey the Great Commission? By gathering Christians together in churches.

This connection between the Great Commission and the church dramatically impacts how both leaders and members should think about their work of making disciples. We do it together.
