Every church has a driving force whether it is tradition, finance, programs, personalities, events, seekers, or the building. However, for a church to be healthy, it must be a purpose-driven church built around the five New testament purposes provided by Jesus. The five stated purposes found in both the Great Commandment and the Great Commission are Worship, Evangelism, Fellowship, Discipleship, and Ministry. Wendell Baptist Church is driven by these five purposes.
