Our Strategy
Momentum Biome
Creating moments that move people toward Jesus
We are united to help people both digitally and locally have a lasting, life-changing relationship with Jesus. We do this by creating moments that move people toward Jesus.
We see our mission like a living ecosystem—a biome—
made up of different spaces
that work together to help people move toward Jesus.
Each space is different
but they’re all connected under the mission of Momentum
creating simple, natural ways to move people toward Jesus.
Each system is unique and functions independently
yet together they form one unified strategy.
Our Ecosystem Strategies
In-Person Gatherings
Jesus in my row
— A place to come together, hear truth, worship, and grow in faith.
Online Campus
Jesus around my space
—Connecting to people where they are—on their time, in their everyday lives.
Community Hub
Jesus around a table
—Spaces like Mo’s Coffee House and Gathering Place where connection happens naturally and organically.
A place where students can land after school and on Wednesday evening for a meal and gathering. Where they can feel known, and build real relationships, be mentored, move toward Jesus—while friends, families, and neighbors gather, slow down, and share life together.
Community Dinners
Jesus around a meal
—Sitting down together over food and music in a simple, natural way—where conversations open up, relationships grow, and faith is experienced together.
Together, these spaces create a movement:
Belong → Believe → Become → Bless
Belong – You have a place here.
Believe – You begin to trust Jesus.
Become – Your life grows and changes over time.
Bless – You live outward, loving and serving others.
This is how we create moments that move people toward Jesus—through everyday spaces, real relationships, and a community where everyone can move toward Jesus.
The majority of churches in the U.S. are what is often called the proclamation model, where you sing, give, hear someone speak, and respond. This method has been around for the last 500 years and is how many of us have moved toward Jesus. This is what we would call our Sunday morning service.
We find our Wednesday night ministries are effective among our students. It's a space where kids can invite their friends to move toward Jesus. Over the last few years we have seen God use this strategy to move people toward Jesus in many ways.
Both of these in-person gatherings are ones where you can participate.
3 ways you can be involved:
-
- Attend and Engage - Show up to church early. This gives you time to connect with others and meet visitors. It also helps you be mentally prepared to worship the Lord. Plus we have coffee and cookies.
- Give - At Momentum Church we believe in the biblical call to give to our local church. If you call Momentum Church your home, please consider supporting our ministry financially. You can do this by putting money in the offering on Sundays, mailing a check to the church, or giving online.
- Serve - We have a number of ways that you can be involved. Click on the link below.
This strategy is simply a place where the public has an opportunity to gather; it’s an open door for connections, relationships, and life. Our hope at Momentum is to use this space as an opportunity to move those who don’t attend a church, or are not attending, toward Jesus. In Hebrews we see the picture of in-person gatherings as something that is intentional, targeted, and hopeful.
We have begun construction at the corner of S. Walnut and E. Hawthorne.
- Pray. Pray for the construction of the new building.
- Give. Donate to the new building.
- Build. Serve on the construction team.
Jesus and the Apostles gave us a great example of what it looks like to move people towards Jesus. Their model said “Go where the people are.” In the 21st century the average young person will spend almost 50 days of every year engaging with social media! That’s 3 hours of surfing per day! This is one place where the people are in today’s culture, so how can we not take the gospel to them? At Momentum Church we want to go beyond a weekly livestream, we want to create relationships, community, and discipleship all in a digital world.
-
- Attend and Engage - Let us know when you show up to our online campus. Tell us about your week and how we can be praying for you. Reach out throughout the week--we have leaders willing to walk with you as you follow Jesus.
- Give - At Momentum Church we believe in the biblical call to give to our local church. If you call Momentum Church your home, please consider supporting our ministry financially. You can do this by putting money in the offering on Sundays, mailing a check to the church, or giving online.
- Serve - Even though we are a “Digital Campus” we have several ways that you can be involved. Serve on the Digital Team. Become a greeter by chatting with guests who join us, and/or become a prayer partner by joining our Prayer Team. As we continue to grow, we will have opportunities to lead digital small groups.
We are living in a post-Christian culture now, where people with a secular worldview outnumber those with a Judeo-Christian worldview (2 to 1 in most zip codes in America.) Research shows that 60% of people will never come to a traditional church setting as we know it, but many would venture into a Dinner Church setting.
Dinner Church is an expression of the Church that looks back at the earliest church model in the Bible to reach these people who are uncomfortable darkening our regular church building doors. Unlike an outreach or a simple homeless feed, a Dinner Church is a fully-functioning church body that meets all the scriptural purposes of the Church: worship, fellowship, discipleship, evangelism, and compassion. It does this by regularly bringing people of all ages and backgrounds together over a meal, to hear a message focused on the life and teachings of Jesus, and to have the opportunity to talk and pray together. Jesus modeled this strategy for us in the gospels, where He spent much of His time teaching and healing at table, eating meals with “the least of these,” the sinners and the outcasts. The early believers in Acts continued this model as they gathered on a regular basis to break bread, fellowship and pray.
We would like to plant a Dinner Church in the community of Colville, in a location where there are not many (or any) churches established yet.
How can you be involved?
- Pray - Pray for the Dinner Church team, for the details to come together, for the community of Colville, and the people that will one day be coming to our Dinner Church.
- Give - While Dinner Church is not the most expensive type of church to plant, there are costs involved - for supplies, and eventually food! Consider being a part by supporting our ministry financially. You can give to Momentum Church here online, through the mail, or in person.
- Serve - A Dinner Church needs people to function effectively! We will need a team of people to cook and serve meals, set up and clean up, sit with and talk to guests during the meal, and lots more. If this is an opportunity you feel God is nudging you to be a part of, let us know so we can find a place for you!
