MIN STL

MIN STL is a network of decentralized microchurches and
missionaries that seeks to saturate St. Louis with the joy, power, anD presence of Jesus and His Kingdom.

Missional Immanuel Network

Our Why

MIN STL exists to find, activate, and equip leaders to make disciples and call them into spiritual families that experience God, learn Jesus’ Way and embody the Good News where they live, work, learn, and play.

Our How

Minimum Church

Activating everyday people to discover the minimum expression of church as Worship-Community-Mission.

Multiplication

Creating a culture of disciple-making where spiritual families on mission thrive and multiply. 

Maturity

Empowering and resourcing missionaries and microchurches by supporting their spiritual formation, emotional health and social wellbeing, and activating them in their unique calling.

We are all made of stories.

Our Story

We are regular people who are being inspired and empowered by an extraordinary God to return to an expression of church that is simple and authentic.  We take the Great Commandments to love the Lord with all our heart, soul, and mind, and our neighbor as ourselves as seriously as we take the Great Commission to go and make disciples of all nationalities.  Jesus is our prime example for how to live in the “up” sphere toward intimacy with God, the “in” sphere toward learning to love one another as Jesus taught his disciples, and the “out” sphere where the words and works of Jesus bring His Kingdom into dark places in the world.

What is our structure?

At MIN STL, we function with a two-entity structure, a mission agency and a network of microchurches. Our mission agency equips everyday people to be loving missionaries and effective disciple-makers in new contexts. As new disciples are made in a new context, a microchurch emerges. When we have four to six microchurches in a geographic region or affinity group, we network them together in what we call clusters. Clusters have shared elders, mission, and resources

What is a microchurch?

Microchurches are extended spiritual families that live in everyday gospel community; they’re led by ordinary people, not paid professionals, and they own the mission of Jesus in their network. For some, this is a very specific pocket of people or corner of culture. For other, this is a geographic network of relationships often defined as a neighborhood.

What is our theology?

Theologically, we are orthodox and spirit-empowered.  We hold to the ancient pathways of the early pre-Constantine church of Jesus. We are anchored by the Scriptures and the historical creeds of the church. The first and simplest creed to which we ascribe is: Jesus is Lord! He is the head of His church, and we seek to submit to His supremacy in all things.

What are we creating?

We are creating a network of reproducing disciples, leaders, microchurches, clusters and Hubs that will saturate St. Louis with the joy, power, and presence of Jesus and His Kingdom.

What is our dream?

Our dream is to see a missionary on every street and microchurch in every neighborhood so that every woman, man, girl and boy can hear, see, and experience the gospel as lived out in the lives of His disciples—the subjects of His Kingdom.
