Our Mission & Vision
Mission
Guiding people to a new life of full devotion to Christ
Vision
The vision of Renovate Church is to see the Cleveland, MS and the world to be permeated with the reign of Christ. Through the gospel, we pray and labor to attain the goal of darkness being overturned and brokenness healed by the power of God at work in His people.
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
Engaging Lostness
Demonstrated by our members’ eagerness to develop relationships with people who don’t know Christ with the willingness to eventually sharing the gospel with them

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.
