ABOUT US

When ordinary people follow an extraordinary God, incredible things happen. Since we launched in 2004, Venture Church has been dedicated to reaching as many people for Jesus as possible. Along the way we’ve seen thousands of people find Jesus. We are proud of where we've been, but we believe God still saves, heals, restores and gives hope, so we are even more excited for what is still to come.

CORE VALUES

mission

  • We believe Venture Church exists to introduce people to the love of Jesus - and as part of Venture Church, we adopt this as our personal mission as well.
  • We believe every follower of Jesus exists to live life “on mission.”
  • We believe that living “on mission” is living under the directive to share Jesus with our neighbors, our community, our region and our world (Matthew 28:19).
  • We believe that when we gather together we become a united expression of God’s love for all people.

community

  • We believe the church is a community of believers, a “body” joined together, whole, and healthy (Romans 12:4-5).
  • We believe the church is meant to be an expression of the unity of Christ.
  • We believe that together, we are stronger and better.
  • We believe that we are meant to do life together.
  • We believe that our love for each other is a powerful witness of the love of Jesus.

generosity

  • We believe it is irresistible for God to bless generous people.
  • We believe that we are meant for generosity. A generous church has the resources to help people in need and advances the mission.
  • We believe that generosity is a living, practical testimony of our faith, and encourages the faith of others.
  • We believe that generosity produces joy and provision (2 Corinthians 9:6-8).
  • We believe that generosity is contagious, creating a culture of generosity.
