City Life Church is a part of the Antioch Network;
The Vision
Antioch Network aims to make disciples of Jesus Christ by multiplying churches
A project to plant 16 new churches over six years. 10 done already.

Conclusion
Matthew 28: 18 Then Jesus came to them. He said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19So you must go and make disciples of all nations. Baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. 20Teach them to obey everything I have commanded you. And you can be sure that I am always with you, to the very end.”
We are to grow as Jesus’s disciples and to make others disciples.
