We are so excited you are here and would love to help you feel at home. Here is a little bit about us...
Renewal is a church plant that began in 2019. We first met at the Dahl Arts Center before moving into our current location, the former Chuck E. Cheese building, in March 2021. We love our neighborhood and love seeing people from all different backgrounds become part of our church family.
At Renewal, we value our relationship with God and our relationships with one another. We’re a group of ordinary people who believe church should be a place where you can come as you are, build real relationships, and grow in your faith. Sundays are casual and laid-back, so there’s no need to dress up or have everything figured out before you walk through the door.
Our core values are Gather, Grow, and Give.
We Gather on Sunday mornings to worship Jesus together through biblical teaching, music, prayer, fellowship, and community.
We Grow throughout the week through relationships and Grow Groups, where smaller groups of people can build deeper relationships, study Scripture, and encourage one another in following Jesus. Grow Groups are available for all ages.
We Give by looking beyond ourselves and serving others. Through Give Projects and other opportunities, we work together to meet practical needs and make a difference in our neighborhood and community
Our core values are Gather, Grow, & Give. On Sunday mornings we 'Gather' to Jesus for our weekly service where we worship God through community, songs, and fellowship. We 'Grow' together throughout the week by joining Grow Groups, which happen at a smaller and more intimate level with people of similar ages. Grow Groups are available for all ages. Lastly, we 'Give' to the world by joining together for monthly Give Projects where we go out and serve our community in a variety of ways.
What to expect
We understand that walking into a new church for the first time can be a little nerve-racking, so here’s a quick rundown of what you can expect on a Sunday morning at Renewal.
- Greeting Team: When you arrive, you’ll find people ready to welcome you, answer questions, and help you figure out where to go. Don’t worry—we won’t make a big deal about you being new!
- Guest Hub & NewBrew Coffee Shop: Once inside, stop by the Guest Hub to say hello and pick up a free gift just for visiting. You can also grab a coffee, smoothie, hot cocoa, or another drink from NewBrew. If you need help finding the kids area, restrooms, or a place to sit, just ask—we’d be happy to show you around.
- Worship: Our worship band leads with modern, upbeat music in a relaxed environment. We usually sing a few songs before the message and a couple afterward. Feel free to participate however you’re comfortable.
- The Message: Pastor Jon teaches from the Bible in a practical, understandable, and engaging way. We believe Scripture is living and relevant to everyday life and has the power to transform us as we learn to follow Jesus.
- Stick Around: After the service, people usually hang out, grab another drink, and catch up with each other. It’s a great time to meet someone new, ask questions, or just enjoy some conversation before heading home.
Everything we do stems from the Gospel of Jesus Christ
Strong faith? Little faith? No faith?
You’re welcome at Renewal.
Renewal is a gathering of people from all different backgrounds and places in their faith journey. Some have followed Jesus for years, some are just beginning, and some aren’t sure what they believe yet. Wherever you are, we invite you to come learn with us who King Jesus is, what He has done for us, and what it means to follow Him in every part of our lives.
We believe following Jesus is more than saying a prayer, attending church, or checking the “Christian” box. It’s a life shaped by Jesus and His Kingdom.
Jesus is King, and His Kingdom looks different from the kingdoms of this world. The good news of Jesus sets us free to know God, worship Him in Spirit and truth, and live the life He created us for.
We’d love the opportunity to meet you, hear your story, and share the good news of Jesus with you.
Come join us as we follow Jesus together.
We are part of the Mennonite Brethren (MB)
Renewal is part of the U.S. Conference of Mennonite Brethren Churches (USMB), a family of churches committed to following Jesus, living under the authority of Scripture, and sharing the good news of Jesus with the world.
Not familiar with Mennonite Brethren? That's okay! Our roots are in the Anabaptist tradition, with a strong emphasis on biblical teaching, discipleship, community, mission, and following Jesus in everyday life.
Our Core Convictions
- We are a believer’s church: To deal with our human sinfulness, we teach conversion to new life through faith in Jesus Christ and practice baptism as a public sign of personal commitment to Jesus as Savior and Lord.
- We are Bible-centered: We accept the Bible as the inspired and authoritative word of God, seeking to obey its teaching, as illumined by the Holy Spirit and interpreted in the Christian community.
- We emphasize discipleship: We seek to live as authentic followers of Jesus in our daily lives, orienting our lives around Jesus’ teaching and model.
- We value Christian fellowship: We believe the church is a biblical and mutually loyal community that expresses itself in worship, fellowship, accountability, and witness.
- We are mission-minded: We share our faith by telling others about the Good News of Jesus and serving others in our neighborhoods and around the world, in obedience to Jesus’ Great Commandment and to the Great Commission.
- We seek peace: We believe the Bible invites us to be at peace with God and with others, even our enemies.
- We cultivate healthy relationships: We are committed to choices that produce wholeness, healing, joy, and peace in all relationships.
