Ministries Overview
We believe these ministry structures create a context for fueling the journey of growth as a disciple of Jesus. In all of these structures, we are centered around spiritual formation and embodied participation.
Our worship services consist of worshiping the Triune God, preaching of the Word of God, encouragement through community events, celebration of baptism and communion, and the use of historic church resources.
Our small groups gather for edification, encouragement, and accountability, and they are structured around a meal and the Word of God. These groups aim to operate as “missional communities”: embodied outposts of the Kingdom of God within a specific realm of influence. These groups are accessible and open to all but designed for those committed.
Regarding age-specific group settings: We see the value in age-specific ministry programs (i.e. middle school youth group, high school youth group, young adult group, retirees’ groups, etc.), but we prioritize integration when possible.
These are “closed”, limited-term spaces intended to give you the tools for growing in your discipleship journey. These classes include studies that encourage personal and spiritual growth and health, training in doctrine, the disciplines of spiritual formation, training for carrying out the mission of the church, and more.
Examples: classes offered at the church, book studies, men’s or women’s studies, elder / deacon trainings, membership class.
Gospel adventures (i.e. trips) possess a unique value in transporting you out of the ordinary and into spaces where you are able to clearly hear from God and grow relationally with folks in the church. Gospel adventures may include mission trips, conferences, ministry team get-aways, and more.
We believe that ministry is built on relationships, and thus we are built around living lives that are intentional, incarnational, missional, relational, and hospitable. We believe that healthy disciples make disciples, and healthy churches plant churches.
