Our Mission & Vision
Mission
Leading people to Christ for life and cultural transformation
Vision
Led by the Holy Spirit, our aim is to contribute to the godly transformation of our community in every domain, in the name of Jesus, for the glory of God. We desire that our application of all of God’s Word to all spheres of life will result in the godly transformation of those spheres. Heart transformation > cultural transformation.
Our Values
Intentional Multiplication
Demonstrated by always making an effort to multiply more disciples, developing them as leaders to eventually lead to the reproduction of Missional Communities and other churches
Authentic Community
This is demonstrated by transparent gatherings of members within the church at worship meetings and homes to be fully known by each other. We value a healthy environment of trust and transparency that enables people to be themselves in our community.
Community Immersion
Demonstrated by the consistent activity of our church being plugged into community affairs for the purpose of transforming the community for the glory of Christ
Upholding Truth
Demonstrated by an unwillingness to compromise on the truths contained in God’s word, holding it as our standard for living
Gospel-Centered
This is demonstrated by the emphasis on the gospel that characterizes every activity of our church. We express our adoration for the gospel and we prioritize the preaching of the gospel in our ministry projects in the community.

What to Expect at Renovate Church
The members of Renovate Church can be expressed by our 5 values. We are a group of people who love Jesus, and because of that we also love people. We offer a children’s group and nursery during our Sunday worship services if you have kids who you would like to bring with you. Each worship service consists of a time of worship through singing, prayer, and hearing the preaching of God’s Word. Any gathering of the people of RC is characterized by being welcoming to visitors, whether they are Christians or not.
If you have never been in church, you are a reason why Renovate Church was started. We seek to create a comfortable environment for people who have never been to church but who are interested in and curious about God. Every worship service is very informal. There is no dress code, so whether you wear a suit and tie or gym shorts and t-shirt, you are welcomed.
