Mentoring Church Context
What is the mission/vision of the church? How can an intern help the congregation to achieve these?
Our mission is to labor alongside our Father as he draws people to Jesus & grows them as disciples.
We value:
everyday conversations & historic confessions
serving others & campus hospitality
the life of the mind & the beauty of the arts
An intern can help us further our mission by growing as a disciple of Jesus Christ and laboring alongside the Father with our team to invite people to follow Jesus and walk alongside people in their discipleship.
What is the make-up of the church and the surrounding community?
As our church has a long history, we have many legacy covenant partners. We are also surrounded by the Missouri State University Campus, and so our location gives us a unique opportunity to reach young people. We have been growing in our reach to younger generations. We have international college students attending our church. Our diversity generally reflects the surrounding area. After a leadership change in 2021, We have been excited to see families and college students joining our church after a season of decline.
What are your top 2 strengths and growth areas as a church?
Our church community highly values the beauty of the arts and the life of the mind, and that is reflected by our incredible music and worship arts ministries, scholars program, and discipleship offerings.
Growth areas would be related to the need to grow young like increasing our campus ministry and rebuilding our youth, children, and family ministries. We have been making good headway, Praise the Lord!
