About Engedi
Engedi Church is a young, passionate and missional community of 800-900 people who are committed to loving and serving God, our neighbors and the world. We preach the gospel, and we do our best to live it out. Since our inception in 2005, Engedi Church’s mission has been to advance the Kingdom revolution of Jesus worldwide. We have identified five core values we believe mark the advance of Jesus’ Kingdom in our midst. Additionally, our community strives to live out five life practices that embody these values (see engedichurch.com).

We believe God’s original dream for creation was to create a community of people who experience complete wholeness of mind, body, emotions and soul in Him, and deep, meaningful and diverse relationships with each other. Jesus began His ministry by announcing He had come to bring good news to the poor, to release the oppressed and to free the imprisoned. He called the experience of these realities living in the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God is an ever-expanding reality of those who are experiencing the restoration of what was lost at the Fall – harmony with God, within ourselves and within our relationships – all through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. While full restoration won’t occur until His return, Jesus invites us to both experience and extend restoration in the now. This is why Engedi exists.

Because of the tremendous growth Engedi has experienced over the past four years, Engedi is currently in the process of renovating a former Kmart facility which we anticipate occupying in the fall of 2013. As we continue growing and seeing increasing numbers of people come to know Christ, our hope is to develop both inwardly and outwardly. We will continue to disciple our community in such a way that their lives are centered on the gospel. And flowing out of this inward change, we will continue to help as many people as possible begin to make a difference in our community and world. Our belief is that a spiritually healthy, gospel-centered church should place significant emphasis on making the world a better place.
