You are Made for More

Jesus loves you exactly as you are, and He loves you too much to leave you there.

The BIG Idea
  1. Where it starts

    You are loved, right now, as you are.

    Before you clean anything up, before you have it all figured out, God already loves you. Not the "better" version of you. You.

    Jesus loves you exactly as you are…

    “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

    Romans 5:8
  2. Grace that saves

    Grace meets you where you are.

    We can't earn our way to God. Through Jesus, God forgives what we've done and welcomes us home. That's grace: a gift we receive by trusting Him.

    “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith… it is the gift of God.”

    Ephesians 2:8
  3. Saved from… and saved for

    It's not just what Christ saved you from.

    It's what He saved you for.

    Saved fromsin, shame, and a life cut off from God
    Saved fora new life of love, purpose and freedom, starting today
  4. Grace that transforms

    …but He loves you too much to leave you there.

    God doesn't stop at forgiveness. He wants to make us whole. As we surrender our whole selves to Him, His Spirit cleanses our hearts and fills them with love for God and for people. Our tradition, the Church of the Nazarene, calls this entire sanctification.

    It isn't about being perfect or never messing up. It's a heart fully given to God, and a lifetime of growing more like Jesus.

    • Surrender everything to God
    • Filled with His Spirit and His love
    • Growing more like Jesus, every day

    “Love the Lord your God with all your heart… and love your neighbor as yourself.”

    Matthew 22:37–39
  5. Heaven, now

    The kingdom of God is at hand.

    Following Jesus isn't only about getting to heaven when you die. It's about bringing heaven to earth now: in our homes, our workplaces, our city.

    “Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”

    Matthew 6:10
  6. Abundant life

    Life to the full.

    There's more to this life than just getting by. Jesus came to give us life that's full: rich with purpose, love and hope.

    “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”

    John 10:10

You are

Made for More

Grace that saves. Grace that transforms.

This is our DNA. Everything we do at Renovation, from Sundays to serving to how we love our city, flows from it.

Who we are

Our Mission, Vision & Values

If our mission is our destination, and our vision is the path to take us there, our values are the guardrails that help keep us on the right path.

Mission

Live by Faith.
Known by Love.
Be a Voice of Hope.

This is who we want to be. 1 Thessalonians 1:2–6

Vision

To raise up influencers* through spiritual transformation to be salt + light where they are engaged and influential.

*“Influencers”: disciples, reconcilers, missionaries

Values

  • Transformation Are people being transformed through it?
  • Community Is it building community?
  • Mercy Is it helping others, making their lives better?

Every programming decision at Renovation is filtered through these three checkpoints first.

We may never build a mega church, but we want to build mega people.
