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.

Our heart is to be Great Neighbors!

Our core values:
  1. Radical Hospitality - We welcome and include every person who walks through our doors.
  2. Service - We are practicing disciples of Jesus Christ by serving one another and the community.
  3. Community - We are committed to creating and supporting community in our church, in Holdrege, and beyond.
  4. Worship - We are a worship-centered community, providing opportunities for all people to encounter Jesus Christ through Word and Sacrament.

Our Leadership Team consists of Sara Stevens-Stehl (president), Vincent Bennett (vice-president) Erica Gnuse (treasurer), Brandi Buckley (secretary), Karl Boutwell and Heather Behrendt.  Recent meeting minutes and reports are available at the church office.
