Heart of the Canyons church, the Evangelical Christian Church in Santa Clarita has as its guiding light, the words of Jesus which state: Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20. The members of Evangelical Christian Church Santa Clarita believe that this is the Great Commission that has been given to them. They are to go and make disciples, baptize them, and teach them to obey the word of God.

The Great Commandment that the Evangelical Christian Church believes in is: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with your entire mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Matt. 22:37-40. It is these – the Great Commandment and the Great Commission that create the main elements of this Evangelical Church. From this have grown Fellowship, Discipleship, Ministry and Evangelism!
