Our Mission
EngaGing God
God has given us the ministry of reconciliation; restoring fellowship with Him and mankind. Therefore, the goal of our worship gatherings is to position people to engage God personally through corporate worship, expositional preaching, and encouragement from one another. We will prayerfully prepare and execute every element of our worship experience so that people may experience a personal encounter with the life transforming presence of our God.
Points of Engagement: Corporate Worship & Corporate Prayer Gatherings
Engaging his family
Since spiritual maturity does not happen in isolation, we will lead people into frequent fellowship with the family of God. Our desire is to help people experience discipleship through Biblical community. Engage community groups will be intentional about having fun together, enhancing biblical literacy, practicing spiritual disciplines, developing spiritual gifts, and serving one another through life’s issues and transitions.

OUR VISION
Reclaiming Lives:
We see lives being changed through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Therefore, it is our vision to communicate and demonstrate the love of Jesus so that people may choose to experience a life of hope and a relationship with God.
Restoring Families:
In a day and time where the value and fabric of the family structure has eroded, we see God using the ministry of Engage to restore families through discipleship. That means we hold dearly our responsibility to nurture our children, enrich parents, strengthen marriages, and cultivate an environment for healthy relationships all together.
Transforming Communities
We envision God using changed lives and strong families to add value in communities around us. Engage will equip and release people to return to their communities to represent the transforming presence and power of Jesus. Engage will release community leaders, business owners, and church planters who will carry out the ministry of reconciliation in communities throughout the west side of Chicago.
