Pastor John and his wife Deborah talk about the family...
We believe Christian families are missional outposts for the gospel. As Jesus calls us to follow Him, He calls our families to step out in faith together and shine His light in the world. At Poiema Church, you and your children will be challenged to reflect Christ-like character and embody His disciple-making mission, by stepping out of your comfort zone to advance God’s Kingdom together.
Stand up Men!
Godly male leadership is essential to a healthy family. We believe husbands have a God-given responsibility to lead their families with Christ-like love and sacrifice. As a husband and father, I take very seriously Christ’s command to love my wife as Christ loves His Church, and to raise my children to know and follow Him. Poiema Church places a special emphasis on calling and equipping men to lead God-honoring families committed to following Jesus and helping others to do the same.
The Power of Mom
Motherhood comes with many joys and challenges. As a mom of one son and five daughters, I can honestly say that every day is on the job training! And while we don’t pretend to have all of the answers at Poiema, we value the important role that moms play in the life of their families. We seek to encourage and equip one another as we grow in Christ and together as a community.
Poiema Kids
We are committed to helping you help your children love and follow Jesus. That’s why Poiema Kids (our children’s ministry) will teach your kids the truth of Jesus, and help them take child-sized steps of faith to follow Jesus.
