Discover Our Story, Our People, Our Mission and Our Love for Kansas City

Welcome to Mission. We’re a new faith community full of people from all over Kansas City who currently gather on Sundays at a co-working facility in Lenexa called Plexpod.

We believe in helping people find their place in a really big story, in being gracious with people from all walks of life and in serving others. If you have given up or never really considered being a part of a faith community, well, you’ll probably fit right in with us.

You can learn more through social media sites, blogs and bios, but the approach is fairly simple… we make friends, we pray continually and we always go for mission.

What We Believe at Mission Church

We believe that when the story of humanity began a long time ago, it was done so in love. Love is risky because love isn’t love unless the other person can walk away. Which is what humanity wound up doing… we walked away. God, unwilling to force His children to turn back, came up with the most unbelievable idea the world has ever seen: He wrote himself into the story. Yes, the author became a character. The Divine became human. God became Jesus.

He showed us not only how to live, but who God was. Jesus was, according to the Bible writers, the exact representation of God. Unfortunately, in our insistence to continue walking away, we couldn’t accept Him as God. So, we killed Him. But, at humanity’s lowest moment, God performed a miracle and resurrected Jesus. God started a new chapter at the intersection of this miracle, and it’s available to everyone, including everyone who identifies as LGTBQ+, and/or is working through LGTBQ+ issues. We’re simply uninterested in excluding anyone from God’s love. We believe this love is a new way of living, of forgiveness and of hope for the future. It’s a new chapter for humanity. We believe in making friends, praying continually and always going for mission because we see them as three powerful ways to stay in God’s story of love.
