The
Avenue Story
God began impressing upon the hearts of Pastors Jeremy and Lindsey Bosma to lead a life-giving church in the city of Las Vegas. The couple began dreaming of planting a church that would make a way for people to know Jesus and experience new life.
Jeremy and Lindsey knew they could not take on this endeavor alone. They wholeheartedly believed that life and ministry were to be done with others.In 2016, Avenue Church began its launch process in partnership with ARC.
Avenue’s first Interest Social was held on June 26, 2016 with 34 people in attendance. Vision was casted and momentum was built. Plans for the future were discussed and the opportunity to join the Avenue team was given. That day, 20 individuals joined what Jeremy and Lindsey would call the A-Team. Interest Socials and outreaches continued for the next several months and by November of 2016, 85 people had committed to see Avenue Church become a reality.
On February 12, 2017 Avenue Church launched its first service at the Opportunity Village Englestad Campus with 389 people in attendance. That day, 37 people accepted Jesus into their hearts!
Avenue Church exists to make a way for people to know Jesus and experience new life! We are a life-giving, multicultural, multigenerational church that will creatively and effectively reach people for Jesus Christ.
"We Ridiculously Love People To Wholeness And Purpose"
OUR VISION
We believe your spiritual journey consists of 4 steps:
Know God
We consider reaching people who do not know God personally one of our greatest responsibilities. Our Sunday worship experiences are for people at all stages in their spiritual journey but are primarily geared toward those who do not have a genuine relationship with God.
Find Freedom
We believe real life change happens in the context of authentic relationships, which is why we are a church made up of small groups. In the Bible, they worshiped in the temple, but personal ministry happened “house to house.”
Discover Purpose
Avenue Church’s Growth Track helps you to discover your unique God-given purpose. Growth Track offers information and experiences designed to help you discover and develop your redemptive purpose and live the full life God wants for you. Our process consists of four steps, guiding you to follow Jesus, connect to the church, discover your purpose, and serve others.
Make An Eternal Difference
All of us were created by God to make a difference in another person's life. God has a place for you where your unique abilities and passions can impact the lives of others. We believe your life will only make sense once you find, develop and fulfill that purpose.
