“Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His bride has made herself ready” (Revelation 19:7).
This is the grand finale of history that we look forward to! This serves as an incentive for the universal church in the task it has been given in completing the mission (Matthew 24:14). At First Presbyterian Church, we seek to participate in the furtherance of the gospel and be encouraged by our Savior’s work through short-term mission in the United States and around the world.
