OBEYING THE LORD’S COMMISSION
We are a church that desires to transform our communities, city and world with the truth of God’s word and the knowledge of his wonderful grace toward all people. In the scripture we see a simple and clear command to take the gospel from our home to the uttermost parts of the earth, which we know begins with the greater Saint Louis metropolitan. Whether you are a local or an immigrant, a long-time business owner or an international student, we want you to know that there is a place for you at Living Faith.
Our History
Our roots are in Kansas City. In 2017, our sending church, Living Faith, was planted in Lee’s Summit, Missouri, and was established by a group of leaders from Midtown Baptist Temple. Our ministry is not bound to any larger denominational hierarchy, which is a decision based not on preference, but what we see as biblical precedent. We are so thankful to God for where we come from and who came before us, however, we do not put our trust in our heritage.
We believe that God intends his mission to be accomplished through independent churches and local assemblies who put their complete trust in the Bible as their final authority for all manner of Christian living, rather than the traditions of men, including our own.
Nonetheless, our history does inform what we are trusting the Lord to reproduce in St. Louis long-term, which is the establishment of a network of like-minded churches, which all are committed to winning souls, making disciples, equipping leaders, sending out missionaries, and establishing new works locally and globally. It is a history we embrace with excitement and gratefulness knowing that a pattern has been set for us by so many wonderful men and women of God.
We are also connected to other ministries that are trusting the Lord for the same mission. This growing fellowship of churches is seeking to fulfill the command of the Lord Jesus Christ to make disciples of every nation.
