What is GOD calling you to do?

Here at Smyrna we understand "The Great Ends of the Church" to be carried out in these five ways:

  1. First and foremost God calls us to WORSHIP him.  The chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy him forever.
  2. The purpose of FELLOWSHIP is to connect people to the family of God.
  3. DISCIPLESHIP/GROWTH (Christian Education) helps us deepen our own faith and fulfill the Great Commission in our community.
  4. MINISTRY/SERVICE - discover and use your gifts and talents to serve God and God's people.
  5. MISSION is participating in God's activity in the World.
