Bolingbrook Church is passionate about helping those far from God to become fully committed Christ-centered disciples. This | ||
is more than just lip-service. We center every- thing we do around helping people understand exactly who Jesus was, | ||
what he was talking about nearly two thousand years ago, and what that means for their lives today. Our hope is that | ||
as they begin to understand his words, they begin to live it out in the everyday. We want them to be inspired to | ||
connect to other people who are trying to do the same, to grow in their passion for Jesus and the people He’s called | ||
them to serve, and then to invite those around them on that same journey. | ||

<h2>MISSION</h2> | ||
<h4>Developing Christ-like disciples of all ages and peoples.</h4> | ||
|
||
<p> | ||
We exist to help people become fully committed Christ-like disciples. This is more than just lip-service. We are passionate | ||
about helping people understand exactly who Jesus was, what he was talking about nearly two thousand years ago, and | ||
what that means for their lives today. | ||
Bolingbrook Church is founded on the belief that the church exists to continue the work of Jesus Christ in our world. While | ||
Jesus was on earth, He preached the good news to the poor, freed the oppressed, confronted the evils in our world, | ||
and removed any obstacle that would keep people from living fully as God intended. Jesus demonstrated a passionate | ||
love for outsiders; He gave them unlimited access to God’s transforming love. In the same manner, we believe that | ||
the church ought to be a living, loving, growing community that brings healing to our world. This conviction drives | ||
our purpose. Simply put: | ||

Our hope is that as they begin to understand his words, they begin to live it out in the everyday. We want them to be inspired | ||
to connect to other people who are trying to do the same, to serve others based on their passion, and to invite others | ||
to do the same by coming into their relationship with Jesus Christ. | ||

<h2>VISION</h2> | ||
<h4>Creating spaces for the people God misses the most</h4> | ||
|
||
<p class="center"> | ||
Creating Spaces for the people God misses the most. | ||
</p> | ||
|
||
<p> | ||
The church we see goes far beyond the confines of church walls, but one that utilizes a multitude of spaces to create genuine | ||
relationships and facilitate growth. When we say spaces, we mean just that: houses of worship, schools, community centers, | ||
concert halls, art & music centers you name it. We desire to create a multiplicity of spaces all over the world | ||
that make it possible for us to reach the ones God misses the most! For us, the people God misses the most are those | ||
who are far from having their own personal relationship with God. | ||
When you are finally at the point where you are trying to understand God and what He has planned for your life — it should | ||
be easy, not hard. At Bolingbrook Church we are hyper-focused on the people God misses the most, those who are far | ||
from God yet wanting to come near. For their sake, we have done our best to keep church simple. We seek to serve | ||
those who are looking to begin exploring who God is and what Jesus has done for them. Our goal is that as they draw | ||
towards Christ, they catch the vision and begin inviting others to embark on the same journey they are partaking | ||
in. In order to facilitate this process, we’ve had to be incredibly intentional. This means rather than provide people | ||
a plethora of programs to choose from, we have three disciple-making spaces that serve as intentional Jesus-Centered | ||
communities that facilitate genuine relationships and foster authentic spiritual growth. This is not a one-size-fits-all | ||
approach, rather we are seeking to engage each person on their journey right where they are to move them along in | ||
a fluid disciple-making process. | ||

<h2>INVITE. CONNECT. GROW.</h2> | ||
<p> | ||
Whether that means they gave up on church, or have never really explored God for themselves, we believe that those are the | ||
people God misses so deeply. So, we seek to provide an embracing multicultural community where the people God misses | ||
the most can freely inquire of God, and explore what Jesus teaches as they walk at their own pace nearer to Him. We | ||
believe that once people feel they belong, they can become inspired to believe Jesus’ plan for their life and begin | ||
engaging the world as Jesus sees it. | ||
<b>Invite</b> - Our Invite spaces are corporate worship gatherings geared at helping people encounter a loving God | ||
who has been yearning for relationship with them. | ||
</p> | ||
<p> | ||
<b>Connect</b> - Our Connect spaces are intimate Jesus Communities that facilitate genuine relationships. | ||
</p> | ||
<p> | ||
<b>Grow</b> - Our Grow Spaces are more intimate, even smaller groups who are committed to fostering in one another | ||
authentic spiritual growth. | ||
</p> | ||
<p> | ||
When we talk of these disciple-making spaces, we are stating that as a result of participating in our spaces, people will | ||
come to entrust their lives to Jesus and his teachings, connect through intentional Jesus communities, serve the | ||
neighborhood/world around them, give their time and resources to the church, and continually invite others into relationship | ||
with Jesus Christ. | ||
</p> | ||
<p> | ||
As a result, people will become freer beings, liberated to live life in abundance as God intended humanity to live it. Enabled | ||
by the Holy Spirit, we wholeheartedly believe that those who venture in the path of discipleship will become more | ||
loving, more joyful, more peaceable, more kind, having more patience, having more goodness, being more gentle, and | ||
becoming more self-controlled. Thereby, fulfilling, the mission of the church to develop Christ-like disciples of | ||
all ages and peoples. | ||

<h2>VALUES</h2> | ||
<p> | ||
Every community has some inherent values that serve as core behavioral traits for those | ||
who choose to join in. At Bolingbrook Church, we have identified five core values that | ||
we call all those who commit to our community to embrace and eventually live by. | ||
</p> | ||
|
||
<h4>Prayerful</h4> | ||
<p class="value"> | ||
We include prayer in everything we do, knowing that it is our most powerful vehicle through which we can directly connect | ||
to God. Through prayer, we give God unlimited access to our lives in order to accomplish His sovereign will through | ||
us. | ||
</p> | ||
|
||
<h4>Gracious Flexibility</h4> | ||
<p class="value"> | ||
We are willing to change or modify established human traditions and embrace biblical truths and practices in order to fully | ||
demonstrate God’s eternal love. | ||
</p> | ||
|
||
<h4>Church of One</h4> | ||
<p class="value"> | ||
We embrace, celebrate, and invite a multiplicity of cultures, ethnicities, generations, and various social economic classes | ||
to come together as one family, unified to fulfill a grander God-given vision to create spaces for those who find | ||
themselves far from God. | ||
</p> | ||
|
||
<h4>Authentic</h4> | ||
<p class="value"> | ||
We foster authenticity by modeling vulnerability in leadership, creating a culture of acceptance, cultivating genuine compassion | ||
and empathy to those around us, in order to display the depths of God’s love. | ||
</p> | ||
|
||
<h4>Intentional Excellence</h4> | ||
<p class="value"> | ||
We are committed to using our strengths, talents, and thoughtful planning to create a culture that reflects the wonder of | ||
God. | ||
