Going is NOT an Option

Going as a witness to our community, state, nation and world, is not an option, it is a mandate given to us by Christ himself.  Matthew 28:19-20 says that we should go into all the world and make disciples.  Acts 1:8 tells us that after receiving power, we will be His witnesses everywhere we go. ...

The Call and Commission of a Disciple

It does not take one long to see the seriousness and magnitude of Christ’s call to discipleship as one examines the call of Christ’s early followers.

Seeking Those Who Can Do

General Dwight D. Eisenhower wrote this in 1942 during  the Second World War, "This is a long road we have to travel.  The men who can do things are going to be sought out just as surely as the sun rises in the morning." We have witnessed a continuous erosion of morality and ethics in our... Continue Reading →

Moore Activity Center

Just south of Cincinnati, two exits off the Ohio River, in downtown Covington, KY sits an amazing ministry that is reaching out to its community with the Gospel.  The Moore Activity Center (MAC), directed by North American Mission Board self-funded Missionary Amy Wilhelmus, opened its doors in 2004 as an outreach of Southside Baptist Church. ...
