What We Believe

Bellwether's Theme Verse: John 10:16

"There are others, not of this fold. I must go to them. They will hear My voice, and there will be one flock, with One Shepherd."

Bellwether's Vision: Help Real People Find the Real Jesus.

At Bellwether, we want people to be real.  To be a church where they don't have to put on a mask. We encourage people to be open here - about their lives, their hurts, and their questions.  We try to help them find the Real Jesus.  The Jesus in Scripture.  The Jesus who said - "if you seek your life you will lose it, if you lose it for My Sake, you will gain it."  The Jesus who went after the one over the 99.  The Jesus who was about the least, the last, and the lost.  

Our Mission: Raising Leaders, who Raise Families, who Raise His Kingdom. 

Leaders: We believe anyone can be a leader for Christ. We want to help people become leaders in the church, in their family, and in the world, for Jesus Christ.

Families: We believe in families. We want leaders to be about families: their spouses, their children, and their extended family, but above all - relationships. We want leaders to be about building relationships with people - to be in community, to be growing relationships, to be about others.

Kingdom: We believe together, as leaders for Christ, as families, as a local church, and in partnering with other churches, we can Raise Jesus' Kingdom here on earth. We can help others find Christ, give people hope, develop peoples' gifts, feed the poor, help the sick, improve our schools, bring about justice, create community, start new churches....raise His Kingdom.

And Our Core Values:  we believe God can RAISE you up to new life, grow in Christ, and Become a leader for Him.
