OUR GOAL IS:

•   A clear understanding of what a disciple is
• To find clear path from becoming a Christian to being a mature disciple of Jesus
• To learn how to be a “Discipler”, one who comes along-side another and helps them become or grow as a disciple. 

OUR MISSION:

  As this team becomes proficient in these new areas of understanding and practice, they will begin engaging people in our community and the rest of our church family in growth as disciples of Jesus. Our goal is to make this church family one that is flourishing. A flourishing church is vibrantly alive, growing and bearing fruit. Our goal is that every one of us would be flourishing disciples. Our goal is that we would lead many unsaved people into a relationship with God (the first step in disciple-making among the unsaved is evangelism). We aim to constantly increase both the quality and the quantity of disciples in Ozark Mountain Country.

 ​Our Mission:

Experiencing the Father’s heart by providing an attractive, comfortable, and safe environment for teaching and worshiping God. 

Operating under the Property Team umbrella, this team is responsible for overseeing our efforts to balance hospitality and accessibility for visitors and folks new to our church family with our desire and responsibility to insure the safety and security of our church family. 

This team can use folks with gifts of administration, knowledge, wisdom, vision and leadership. It would also benefit from anyone who is already safety minded or anyone who has experience in any form of emergency services. We already have leadership with experience and knowledge but we need people to help us learn more, figure out new best practices and then help us with implementation of those practices.

If this stirs something in your heart, get in touch with Jim Hunt, the Team Leader. 

3 Areas of Focus

•  1. Maintaining the campus as good stewards of our resources. 
•  2. Use our facilities for community and church outreach. 
•  3. Provide comfortable and safe facilities that are attractive to all.
