What is Matthew 25?
Matthew 25 is an initiative of the PC(USA) that serves to focus and energize existing and future ministries of participating congregations. It is inspired by the parable of the sheep and goats from Matthew 25: 31-46, where Jesus made it clear that what we do matters to God and how we treat others is important to God. It has three core pillars.
