The Sturgis church is a family of believers with an insatiable desire to help those who are not part of God's family, who are outside of Christ. It hurts us to see the world around us, which is plagued by hurt, division, and being pulled in so many different directions. Yet, even more troubling are the countless people in our own neighborhoods with no one to teach them of the hope and truth that are found solely in Jesus. We, at the Sturgis Church of Christ, feel very convicted about our calling. We, are called to help those who are looking to CONNECT and find Jesus. In other words, we see our initial work as those who help others have a relationship with Jesus. In addition to that, we feel very strongly about the entire Great Commission, and "teaching them to observe all things that Jesus commanded" (Matt. 28:18-20). Namely, we are called to GROW in our understanding of God's will and our relationship with Him. All of this is with a view towards SERVING OTHERS in that cause. Our purpose is simple:
TO BE LIKE JESUS
If you were to ask a member of the Sturgis Church of Christ what we believe our purpose or mission is, we would characterize our mission with three simple words...
CONNECTING GROWING SERVING
