Outreach & Social Concerns
The Greatest Commandment
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” (Mark 12:30-31)
The biblical mandate is clear, the Church is to love God and love our neighbours (Mk 12:30-21). By reaching out unconditionally, it is not simply an act of charity but an extension of God's self-identification with the marginalized (Matt 25:35-40) and an act of love (Jn 13:35).
As such, the Outreach and Social Concerns committee here in AMC seeks to help make real in the lives of others the presence and love of Jesus Christ, rally the church to take action to help and bless others and to develop a Christian response to social issues in the local community.
