Go therefore and make disciples.
— Matthew 28:19
Jesus calls us to shine his light everywhere. At SJD, we believe Christ chooses each church member to represent him, especially to those who don't know his love or are in need. We love Houston and strive to be brighter lights for the Gospel. Are you ready to Go?
