Quest’s purpose is to be God’s hands working to fulfill God’s mission… especially to reach those who do not yet know God’s love revealed in Jesus. We are the face of Jesus in the community. The Great Commission (“to make disciples” - Matthew 28:19-20) and the Great Commandment (“love God… and neighbor” – Matthew 22:34-40) are our major directives. Micah’s injunction to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with God (Micah 6:6-8) further clarifies what we are called to do.
