Abstract
Jesus gave His church the Great Commission to go and make disciples of all nations (Matt. 28:18-20). The early church modeled what a healthy and obedient church should look like. They devoted themselves to prayer, fellowship, and breaking of bread. They did this in small groups as they met “from house to house” (Acts 2:42,46). For this reason, East Hickman Baptist Church needs to become a Great Commission church that faithfully disciples others through small groups.
