About Church 29:11
THE NAME
Church 29:11 is the dream of Pastor Rick and Dava Hand. After 25 years of ministry, it was time for something different and Church 29:11 was planted with the vision to reach the unchurched.
1 Chronicles 29:11
Tells us that God is SOVEREIGN - He can make any dream happen!
2 Chronicles 29:11
Says that God has CHOSEN us to serve Him and make His dream happen!
Psalms 29:11
Reminds us that God BLESSES us with everything we need as we make our dreams happen!
Jeremiah 29:11
Says God has big DREAMS for you, to give you hope and a great future!
WE DARE YOU TO DREAM WITH US!
The dream is a church that reaches out to the more than 20,000 people who live in North Jefferson County that are not affiliated with any Christian church by being a church without traditions that alienate the unchurched; a church for anyone by offering love, acceptance and forgiveness to everyone, especially those who have become disenfranchised from the church and those with no church background at all; a church that is missional, with a purpose beyond itself; a church that offers everyone an opportunity and a place to serve God along with the training and support they need.
We believe 29:11 is a church for anyone while understanding it may not be for everyone. We work hard at keeping traditions out of our message and method because they are obstacles to reaching the unchurched. And we're determined to repeal the 20/80 rule (that says 20% of the people do 80% of the work) —Because everyone has something awesome to do for Jesus!
