OUR MISSION
Bethsaida Baptist Church exists to glorify God through mission.
Matthew 28:18-20 - “And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.”
A. LOVE GOD
Matthew 22:34-37 - “When the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they came together. 35 And one of them, an expert in the law, asked a question to test Him: 36 “Teacher, which command in the law is the greatest?” 37 He said to him, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.
B. LOVE PEOPLE
Matthew 22:38-40 - “This is the greatest and most important command. 39 The second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. 40 All the Law and the Prophets depend on these two commands.”
C. MAKE DISCIPLES
Matt. 28:19 - “make disciples” - the only command
At Bethsaida our definition for Making Disciples is “Intentionally training followers of Jesus Christ in the Word of God and Scripture memory through accountable relationships led by the Holy Spirit for the purpose of reproducing full-time followers of Jesus Christ.
So come and join us and be part of the exciting things God is doing and will do in the future at Bethsaida Baptist.

STRATEGY
1. Discover the unchurched
2. Disciple the Saved
3. Deploy the Discipled
This is a reciprocal process that helps us fulfill our mission and vision.
DISCIPLESHIP JOURNEY
a. Large Group
“assembling of ourselves together” - weekly gathering; Public worship
b. Life Group
Sunday School
c. D-Group
This is a gender exclusive group of 3 to 5. Men meet with men and women meet with women. This is not a lecture time with one teacher facilitating the whole time. The whole group participates in Bible study for quiet times, prayer, Scripture memory and accountability.
This is a closed group to where you covenant together to do the work each week & the difference is the accountability. Your brothers or sisters in Christ keep you accountable through the group. Jesus had an inner circle of 3 disciples, who were Peter, James and John and He took them aside several times for even more intensive training.
