OUR MISSION: We are making disciples that make disciples to God’s GLORY!
What is a Simple Church?
We are making church life simple for those that have little or no experience of church life! Are you curious about Jesus? This is the place for you!
Pastor Mary Brown is sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ in Overland Park. She is a missionary in Overland Park Kansas. America needs more missionaries! People in our city need Good News!
A simple church is a vibrant community of people who are meeting in homes, coffee shops, parks, offices or wherever God is leading them to explore the Bible and the life transforming power of a personal relationship with Jesus. We desire to make God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit known. At Simple Church Overland Park, we are reaching out to the 70% of Americans that have little or no experience with the Church and walking with them as they explore the Christian faith. A simple church is also known as house church, organic church, micro-church or missional community. Jesus, his apostles and generations of disciples have met and ministered in homes. The house church is a clear model for “church” in the New Testament and we are bringing it alive again in America. We believe people learn best in small, intimate communities with dialogue and discussion around the Scriptures and alongside of others.
We are praying for opportunities to reach those who are curious about Jesus and unfamiliar with the Bible! We currently have groups meeting in several homes, a local coffee shop, an office and a condominium clubhouse. Contact our pastor, Mary Brown about joining a community of people if you are unfamiliar with the Bible and interested in hearing about God’s glorious plan and Jesus.
Pastor Mary Brown is a missionary to America and specifically north Overland Park Kansas. She believes that America needs more missionaries! God called her to leave an established church Associate Pastor position in order to focus on reaching those curious about Jesus. Pastor Mary was called by God to this evangelistic work and she relies on donations to Simple Church Overland Park. At Simple Church Overland Park we continue to explore what it means to be a Church because Church is people not a building.
PASTOR/CHAPLAIN: Pastor Mary is available to meet with you to discuss any spiritual or emotional need. I want to help people along their spiritual journey! Call or Text: 913-515-6056 or Email: pastormary04@yahoo.com
Bible Prophecy: Pastor Mary is also teaching Bible prophecy because she believes it is important for believers to be ready for the Second Coming of Jesus! Did you know that 23 out of the 27 New Testament books mention the Second Coming of Jesus? Did you know there are 333 prophecies concerning Christ. Only 109 were fulfilled at His first coming. That leaves 224 prophecies yet to be fulfilled. Bible prophecy makes up about 28 percent of the entire Bible. It is so important for us to learn! We are living near the end of the Church Age.
