The Judson Mission.

To make disciples of Jesus Christ who love God and love people.

The Judson Mission comes from a combination of The Great Commission and The Great Commandment:

Matthew 28:19-20
"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you."
Matthew 22:37-40
"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment.
And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. ESV

The Judson Vision.

To build a church of truth and grace unchurched people love to attend.

Vision is a picture of where we want to go with our mission at Judson. Because of our vision we will strive to teach 100% truth and extend 100% grace, in the same way Jesus did.
John 1:14-15
"And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth." ESV
Matthew 5:14-16
"You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven." ESV

The Judson Model.

Judson Baptist has embraced a small groups model:

A church model is the framework a church chooses or creates to pursue its vision and fulfill its mission. Our desire is that everything we do be designed to move people toward being in a small group where they can be discipled and become disciple-makers.
Acts 2:46-47
"46 And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread n their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved."
ESV
2 Timothy 2:2-3
"And what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also." ESV

Judson Programs.

Programs are a practical application of the Judson Vision.

Programs are the actual day to day ministries that a church plans, maintains, and pours its resources into. At Judson we want to be a mission and vision driven church, not a program driven church. Every program we do will be developed or maintained in light of our mission and vision.
Ephesians 5:15-16
"Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil."
