OUR MISSION STATEMENT:
Making disciples who love Jesus and love people.

OUR BELIEFS
Using Scripture as our authority, the Missionary Church is committed to this basic statement of faith:
GOD.
There is but one eternal, all-powerful, all-knowing and everywhere-present Triune God—Father, Son and Holy Spirit— who is the creator and sustainer of all things (Deuteronomy 6:4-5; 1 Timothy 2:5).
JESUS CHRIST.
He is God incarnate, yet human. He lived a sinless life, died to make atonement for the sins of all mankind, was bodily resurrected and is now mediator at the right hand of the Father. He is assuredly coming in power and glory for His believing followers, and is the only Savior of men (John 1:1, 14; Titus 2:11-14).
HOLY SPIRIT.
He convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, regenerating all who repent of their sins and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. He sanctifies, empowers, teaches, guides and comforts the believers (John 16:7,8, 12-15).
BIBLE.
The Bible is the divinely inspired Word of God and thus authoritative in all matters it addresses (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21).
SALVATION.
Salvation is the result of genuine repentance of sin and faith in the atoning work of Christ. It brings forgiveness to the penitent, makes him a partaker of the divine nature and gives peace with God. We call this new birth (Titus 3:5; 1 Peter 1:3-5).
CHURCH.
We believe in the invisible and universal Church as an organism. It is composed of all believers in the Lord Jesus who have been vitally united by faith to Christ, its living Head and sovereign Lord (Matthew 16:18; Hebrews 12:22-24).
ORDINANCES.
We believe the Christian ordinances are two: baptism and the Lord’s Supper. We believe they are outward rites appointed by Christ to be administered in each church, not as a means of salvation, but as a visible sign and seal of its reality (Acts 8:36; 1 Corinthians 11:24-34).

OUR HISTORY
The Wakarusa Missionary Church had its beginning in stirring revivals in school houses, tents, and barns of the area in 1873. These revivals, lasting a month or longer, continued anywhere the group could be gathered. The gathering was packed to the door nightly with many having to be turned away.
A lot has changed in the last 140 plus years, but our focus has not. We still exists to make disciples who love Jesus and love people. We love seeing lives transformed and families restored. God is on the move! Our history is rich and our future is bright. We are very excited about the chapter that is currently being written in our story! Join us on our journey.
