970.church, where the church is the people. We are passionate about introducing people to Jesus and inviting them to experience life as his disciple. At NineSevenZero Church we love God and love people. We are passionate about introducing people to Jesus and inviting them to live as his disciple. We love to introduce them to the non-religious message of Jesus and invite them to a radical way of living out one’s faith. We live in a valley where a large percentage of the young adults (20 and 30 somethings) have checked out of church or know nothing of the Christian faith. We live in a valley where 42 percent of the population aren’t involved in any church and 23 percent have decreased their involvement with their faith in the last 10 years and simply don’t see the traditional, institutional church as relevant or valuable to their lives. We intend to engage this segment of our communities through active service, an emphasis on meaningful relationships, and a compelling call to live for something larger than themselves as a disciple of Jesus. Instead of asking people to retreat into a Christian safe house, we intend to commission them to live as Jesus lived in the midst of their world. While we see our weekly gatherings as an important front door to NineSevenZero Church, we’ll place our greatest emphasis and resources into developing life-changing, missional life groups with the goal of multiplying them throughout the valley. Our goal is not to add another church to a valley that already has plenty. Our goal is not to create a type of church that would attract members from other churches. Our goal is to create a different flavor of church that will attract, engage and release people to reveal and grow Jesus’ kingdom in the 970 area code.
