Go

August 30, 2023 | Michael Rhodes

At Veritas, we want to be people who can’t help but speak of Jesus. We don’t want obedience to be the primary motivator, nor do we want the mere existence of opportunity to drive our disciple-making. We want our gospel proclamation to be an unstoppable and overflowing response to all that God has done within us.

Invest

June 5, 2023 | Jeff Meyer

Our purpose as Christians is so much more than “I”, in fact, the only real reason it is about “I” at all is because a bunch of “I’s” are required to make a “we.”

Connect

May 1, 2023 | Matt Hoffert

Today, we have more “connections” than ever before. Modern technology allows us to “connect” instantly with people all over the world. Despite this, more people feel alone, isolated, and disconnected than ever before. Many people today lack true connection, and this can be true within a local church.

Learn

April 3, 2023 | Jordan Howell

Were the Psalmists serious when they said things like, in Psalm 119, “Oh how I love your law! It is my meditation all the day”? They were saying things like this about the Old Testament, which most of us grumble our way through or even quit reading altogether. So what is our problem when it comes to reading or studying our Bible and learning good theology?

Abide

March 3, 2023 | Ashley Nelson

As I reflect on one’s relationship with God and the importance of being connected to him and the pursuit of that connection, I can’t help but mention and rejoice in the fact that it is God himself that keeps us connected to him – He pursues us first.

Everyday Worship

A Desired Future

November 1, 2021 | Jake Each

We are dreaming big. It is our vision as a church in the next five years to start another campus in our community and plant a collegiate church through our partnership in The Salt Network, and send out a global church planting team overseas. We are dreaming of a future where ministry at Veritas is multiplied outside of our walls and to the ends of the earth.

Resting in the Gospel

October 3, 2021 | Matthew Morken

The framework for peace in a Christian’s life is found in the gospel. It is, or should be, the cornerstone of why we respond differently than the world around us. But there are real questions at hand. How does the gospel supply peace in a time of increasing debate and disagreement?

The 4 Ts of Discipleship

September 6, 2021 | Jake Each

The charge and command that Jesus gave us is to “go and make disciples.” It is the mission of the church and how the church has been advancing since its beginning. As we seek to make an impact in our community for the glory of God, we believe what we are called to, and what is the best thing we can do for our community, is to put more disciples of Jesus in it.

Vision Reinforcement | Gospel

October 12, 2020 | Michael Rhodes

Our first value is “Gospel.” It is simply the good news. The good news that when we were dead in our sins and trespasses, Jesus came to earth, lived a perfect life that we couldn’t live, died a death that we deserved to die, and rose from the dead to give us new life. It’s the good news that leads to our salvation and the lens by which we approach all of life.

The Six Essential Elements of Discipleship

September 14, 2020 | Nate Kaloupek

As a church, we’ve recently let you know about our mission and vision, putting language and clarity to what we’ve always wanted to do as a local body of believers. In order to help us accomplish the mission of “Raise up mature disciples. Send out everyday missionaries. Glorify God.”, we've identified six essential elements of discipleship, things we as a church want to do to help shape a people to be mature disciples and everyday missionaries. We're not saying these are the only things a disciple does. Different churches might put a different emphasis or spin on them. We want to let you know what we mean when talk about developing disciples here at Veritas Church.

Contribute | Church

March 19, 2019 | Matthew Morken

This is one of the best things about Christian faith. Our Leader served us and provided an example to us on how to live. He didn’t sit on his throne and demand that creation to do his work, though he could have. With all of these examples of service/contribution in Christ, why don’t we serve/contribute?

Baptism - What and Why

October 30, 2018 | Matthew Morken

This is what I proclaim to my family, my friends, the Church and the world in baptism. I have been crucified with Christ and have been raised again in newness of life (Romans 6:3-9). The act of baptism doesn’t actually wash away sins but is an act of obedience and testimony proclaiming the work completed by the Lord of my life, King Jesus.

Discipleship in Everything

October 23, 2018 | Ian Crosby

Make disciples who shape our community. That sentence is our mission. That sentence is our goal. That sentence is what drives us as a church. And that sentence is what should drive us as individuals.
