Our DNA
Our mission is to be Spirit-filled neighbors who reach out to the residents of Holdrege and surrounding communities with the love of Jesus Christ. We strive to make church approachable to those who may be intimidated by formal church rituals. We welcome those who may not find a faith home elsewhere because God and Christ are more important than a building, carpet, or altars.
