The mission of Remedy Church is to enjoy and extend restored life in Jesus.

In Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. 2 Corinthians 5.19

Enjoy Restored Life

We who were once alienated and hostile toward God, he has now reconciled back to himself (Col. 1.21). He has done that by the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, through our faith in him, and God wants us to find joy, delight, and satisfaction in that.

Extend Restored Life

Jesus’ last words to his followers were sending words. In John 20.21 he said, “As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.” God didn’t rescue us from death and despair just to sit. Now that we’ve been rescued, he wants us to join him in his rescue mission. He wants us to extend restored life in word and deed.

In Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.

DISTINCTIVES

Our MISSION is our broader purpose, and our VALUES are guiding principles as we accomplish that purpose. While both of these are somewhat personalized to Remedy Church, they are deeply rooted in Scripture and characterize a lot of other churches, too.

DISTINCTIVES are convictions that more uniquely characterize us and are at the heart of how we go about ministry and mission.

Missional Community

We primarily pursue disciple-making, care, and spiritual growth through smaller groups who are in each others’ lives, over events & programs.

Family

We pursue discipleship through healthy expressions of family, including strong marriages, parents discipling their kids, and everyone being part of a spiritual family.

Simplicity

We strive for simplicity over busyness in our scheduling and events in order to make space for community, mission, and families.

Welfare of the City

We seek the welfare of our city, participating in its stream of life when possible and bringing gospel healing to broken and hurting people.

Multiplication

Our aim is not simply to grow bigger, but to multiply disciples, Missional Communities, and churches.

But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility.

Ephesians 2.13-14
