Get Involved at Indwelling
How do I get involved?
We understand that as we grow into our place not only in the Kingdom but in the City of Grand Rapids, we will be stretched, molded, and have to redefine, re-articulate, and respond to the changing city, growing church community, and needs within our local missional context.
In order to accomplish the mission God has called us to, we must find ways to train, learn, equip, and serve together as the bride of Christ, so that we can participate in the work He is laying out before us.
Each and every piece of our ministry must contain a similar DNA and culture that reminds us of Christ the King and helps us become a church ready and equipped to make Christ known to all. The ministry that Indwelling Community Church focuses on contains and fosters a culture of biblical community, connectedness, spiritual growth, and a love and passion for the mission of the Kingdom. The church has been called to equip the saints for the work of ministry as Paul explains to the church in Ephesians 4.
EPHESIANS 4:11-13
So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
Partnerships
We know we can’t do it alone, and we don’t have all the answers. But we believe that the Spirit of God at work in every believer equips us with unique gifts and passions to live out our calling as disciples of Jesus—every single day. Below are several ways to serve the city, from partnered organizations to Partner Lead opportunities. We want to see the gospel take root in our neighborhoods, so take a look, get connected, and join us in living out God’s mission in Grand Rapids.
