The Vision
We are equipping everyday people to create disciple-making movements wherever they are.
The Mission
Avalon Missionary Church makes disciples of Jesus through grace-based connections, engaging Scripture, and reaching the world with the hope of God.
Our Values
- At Avalon, you can belong before you believe, so anyone is welcome at our church.
- We believe that church is to be lived out 168 hours a week. We practice this through small communities called Small Groups.
- We believe that you don’t have to be an expert to engage with the Bible. Because of this, we strive to make the Bible accessible for everyone, no matter where they are on their faith journey.
- We want every person in our city to know that they matter and that the grace of God is offered to them.
- We desire for Avalon to reflect the beauty and diversity of the family of God in race, age, socio-economic status, language, and more.
- We believe that we are better together, so we practice unity and collaboration with other churches in Fort Wayne and around the world.
- We believe that the church should be the safest place in the world to be honest and talk about anything.
- We believe that every person is created in the image of God, so we pursue justice and dignity for people who are marginalized and oppressed in our city and in the world.
- We believe that worship is not just singing songs on Sunday morning but living our entire lives in the way of Jesus.
- We believe that prayer is a powerful way to communicate with God, asking for His will to be done and His kingdom to come in the lives of people and in our world.
