Thy Rod & Thy Staff Nondenominational Church's purpose is to fulfill the gospel commission as set forth in Matt 28:19,20. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:) Mt 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen. (AV) We believe this is to be done by both preaching and practice. Preaching not so much as we walk but preaching by our walk. According to be Bible, God's church should be known by its love(Jn 13:35) and love, as set forth in Scripture, means obedience to God as defined by His commandments(1 Jn 5:3).
