Welcome to our web site.

             We would also like to have the opportunity to personally welcome you to our Sunday Morning Service as well as invite you to participate in the vitality of Bread of Life Christian Church in its vision for:

• Spiritual Growth and Health,

• Experiencing the Joy of Serving Others,

• Sharing of Christ’s Gifts,

• Development of a Foundation of Faith, Hope and Love, and

• Sensitive, Compassionate, Concerned, Caring Fellowship.

Vision, Mission, Core Values

A vital and growing congregation needs a vision.  Its covenant disciples need to know where they are going (a vision), how they are going to get there (a mission statement), and what they believe (a set of core values).

The Vision

“Bread of Life Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) will challenge people in the Lenexa and Shawnee areas of Kansas (and other surrounding communities) to answer the call of God to be disciples of Jesus Christ, witnessing to our love for Christ through our relationships to each other and to the world.”

Mission Statement

“Bread of Life Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) calls together individuals and families in the Lenexa and Shawnee areas of Kansas (and other surrounding communities) to:

• Enrich their relationship to Christ through Spiritual Life Groups, worship, and service;

• Enrich their relationships to each other through faith in Christ;

• Enrich the world for Christ by confronting injustice and indignity; and

• Enrich the Body of Christ by establishing a new Christian congregation in the future.”

Core Values

“The Core Values of Bread of Life Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) are:

• The Lordship of Jesus Christ (no other test of fellowship)

• The Lord’s Supper is open to all believers (the Lord’s table is Christ’s alone to share)

• The ministry of all believers (all are called to ministry at our baptism)

• The love of unity (we are not the only Christians, but only Christians among many)

• The justice of God (we care for the People of God who are marginalized by culture and systems – Micah 6:8)”

 
We want our church to be a place for spiritual growth
for everyone, at all ages.

Dear Friends,

Thank you for stopping by our Web Site.  Every time a person visits Bread of Life Christian Church, our family of faith is enhanced.  Our church is interested in you and it is hoped that sometime there will be a chance to become acquainted personally.

In the breaking of bread and the sharing of the cup each week, the presence of God is experienced in brokenness and in healing.  With joy and thanksgiving, the desire of Bread of Life is to share this Good News with the rest of the world.

Bread of Life Christian Church is a blended family with people from all walks of life and all ages and with a wide variety of experiences on life’s spiritual journeys.  Our weekly worship experience is enriched by the presence of the patients of Hoeger House and their families.

You are invited to also be a part of the blessing of Bread of Life Christian Church.  All Christians are called to walk a journey.  If you are interested in sharing your journey with Bread of Life, our church will do everything possible to ease the course and enrich the path.
