Goal
We provide discipleship to others (out in the marketplace) that introduces and models the Biblical concept of sozo: which encompasses the protection of our minds, the healing of our bodies and the deliverance of our souls through Jesus Christ.
We provide communities for believers to connect and heal. Most of our groups meet weekly (or monthly) to share life together.
Over the years, we have offered community outreaches, prayer & worship events, creativity workshops, bible studies, book clubs, open art nights, ministry training programs, women’s retreats, and individual/group mentoring.
Our ministry aims to create an awareness of God’s presence, involvement and concern in every piece of a person’s life. Our current mountain of influences are out in the marketplace - happening in the realms of business, hospitality, education and art.
At this stage, ministry costs are approximately $10,000/year to operate and impact about 50 individuals each year. All leaders are volunteers. Our main expenses are rent, technology-related subscriptions, art supplies, ministry training costs, website hosting, and retreat scholarships.
We also sponsor other marketplace ministries like Deeper Still Chicago (abortion recovery and healing), WyldLife (a flourishing christian club in a local public high school ) and Kingdom Construction Crew Ministries (ministry training and church planting organization) and Legacy Vineyard Church.
