Thanks for taking the time to learn more about Engage! Engage is a church network of Jesus-centered communities reimagining what church can look like. We take church beyond a building into everyday spaces – homes, coffee shops, schools, and more – where people live their lives. Together, we are learning to live by faith, labor in love, and endure with hope in Jesus (1 Thessalonians 1:3).
We have ministries and groups gathering across the KC Metro and in Des Moines, Iowa and more than 10,000 people connecting with our online content each month – whether that's through online worship, Worship Mosaic, our Bible Experiences, our online magazine, or social media.
Most of our in-person gatherings are small, less than 50 people. We believe in not just being with each other, but FOR each other. Engage is a place where you can be known, loved and encouraged.
Here's what you can expect from Engage:
WELCOME TO ENGAGE!
At Engage, we believe faith is meant to move. Our mission is to live by faith, labor in love, and endure with hope in Jesus (1 Thess. 1:3). That means church isn’t just a building you go to – it’s a movement that shows up where people live their lives: homes, schools, businesses, neighborhoods, even online.
Getting started is simple: worship with us, join an Engage Group, or both. You might also attend one of our special events held throughout the year (check the calendar for what's happening.) Choose the spaces that help you grow in this season.
Join us on 1st Sundays, at 10 a.m., for Family Worship. Location is typically 460 E 55th St., Kansas City, Mo. (But check the calendar for special events on the date you plan to join!)
We sing, partake in Communion and study scripture. Engage Kids and Youth participate in worship through song and Communion and then head to their own class for Bible time, games, art, service projects and more.
