THE ROAD HOME
(ROMANS ROAD TO SALVATION)
At Impact Church, Missions Month is more than just a theme, it’s a movement. Throughout the month of July, we’re focusing on the Great Commission by equipping our church to reach people locally and globally with the message of Jesus.
The Romans Road to Salvation is one of the simplest, clearest ways to explain the Gospel. It walks someone through why we need Jesus, what He’s done for us, and how to respond using Scripture straight from the book of Romans.
