About Us

Following Jesus to renew lives that renew the world.

At ReNew Community, we see a world where everyone matters. We seek to embody certain core values and model them on a daily basis.

Self-Giving Service: We are good neighbors who want to make the Ames community better. We won’t just sit in church; we will get out and serve others, putting our Christian faith into action.

Unconditional Acceptance: God loves everyone – so do we. Everyone is welcome, period. Every person needs authentic relationships.

Empowering Leadership: Leaders are called and gifted by God to lead by empowering others. A simple structure based on team ministry encourages flexibility, creativity, action and reproduction.

Unending Worship: Every person is created to worship God all the time. Worship is a lifestyle. The Bible is relevant and meaningful at all times, in all places. Life transformation and renewal happen best in the context of an authentic relationship with God and others.

What to Expect

What are services like?
At our Sunday morning gatherings, you will find friendly hospitality, contemporary acoustic worship, and biblical teaching about the abundant life that Jesus offers. At ReNew Community, we think that pursuing and worshiping God is a family event. From newborns to grandparents and everyone in between! You’ll see kids in our church service, and chances are you might hear them too. It’s okay–we like it that way! Our desire is to come alongside parents in the spiritual formation of their youth. We want to provide opportunities for families to be empowered, equipped, and encouraged as they take charge of family faith on Sunday morning and all week long. You are welcome to keep your little ones with you for the church service. We also provide some options for younger ones.

What is the community like?
ReNew Community is a place to belong. We are an intergenerational church of broken, imperfect people that long to see God’s redeeming love “ReNew” the community of Ames. We exist for the overall community, not just ourselves. This means we won’t just sit in church; we will get out and serve others.

What if I'm not a Christian?
We believe in a God whose love is so much bigger than our biggest doubts, our worst mistakes, and our constant weaknesses. This isn’t a place where you have to get cleaned up before you come. We strive to be a place that is safe for anyone at any stage of life.
