Opportunities
The work of the Community is possible through the advocacy of Kingdom-minded Christ-followers who have assembled together under Jesus, the Bridegroom, the Christ, God, and Head. Compelled by an arresting vision of our great King, His promise of the Bride's radiance, and His compassion for Shepherdless sheep, they converge upon Maywood's unsavoriness and darkness with salt and light - faith in the Crossbearer and the incarnational ministry of His Bride. We boast in our Savior and in those who boldly  display His radiance. 
ADVOCATE for the Community and the Bride in Chicagoland; Be A...

Partner in Missional Service in Maywood by prayerfully and courageously considering how God may be calling you to join Him in the work that He is already doing in Maywood and places like it.  Move to Maywood? Open up a business? Get a job in Maywood. Make Maywood the place for your next long-term or short-term mission trip? Go prayer-walking in Maywood? Help us with an event? Stand alongside us and minister to our neighbors!

Partner through Financial Support of the Community which seeks Kingdom-minded Christians who understand that the missional strategy of the Community coupled with her socio-economically depressed context makes self-sustainable ministry nearly impossible. Only through the Spirit-initiated material support of advocates like you can financial hurdles be overcome. 

Partner in Faithful Prayer by asking God to enable the Community to leave the indelible mark of Christ’s Kingdom in Maywood and to raise up more authentic disciples and congregations who will authentically love God and relevantly love people.  Please visit our Prayer Page and become familiar with our specific prayer requests.

Partner as a Missional Advocate
 in Your Own Local Church
 by championing authentic discipleship and by promoting relevant missionally-minded engagement strategies for domestic Kingdom ministry. Challenge your congregation(s) to incarnationally penetrate the immediate and broader community of lost people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ by going out to where they are. When was the last time someone outside the church said, "I'm so glad your church is in this community!" or "Your church is a valuable member of this community?" Do stuff in a way that invites the world’s appropriate regard for the Bride and her Bridegroom. ENGAGE neighbors in a ways that provoke them to ask you to provide the “reason for the hope” within you. PENETRATE your community – governmental agencies, social networks, civic organizations, law enforcement, the very socio-cultural infrastructure of your neighborhoods – in ways that will leave no mistake as to who deserves glory. CALL on your church to be the Bride who radiates the glory of the Bridegroom!

Our Advocates 

Individual Advocacy in 2012


The Community also enjoys the support of many individuals and families who faithfully advocate for us. While most of our individual supporters are local, we are also blessed by the precious partnership of individuals and families throughout North America.

For each and every one of these precious advocates, we thank and praise God. Not wanting to jeopardizes their full reward in the Kingdom, we will withhold their names. We trust that each knows of whom we speak, but more importantly that the Master knows of their generosity and hospitality towards His servants in Maywood (Mat. 10:11-16).
