Advance Church

8633 Colesville Road

Advance Church is more than a name.  It is an objective.   God has given us the grace to move forward, make progress, and increase in every sphere of life for His Kingdom.   We are called to advance a spirit of faith, hope, and love to all those that we interact with.  We are called to be servant leaders.  We are called to reach, reproduce, and release godly leaders who know God, strengthen families, and impact the marketplace.

Knowing God
At the end of the day, the most important thing in life, and the most fulfilling,  is having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.   This relationship feeds into every area of our lives bringing hope, healing, and happiness.  Jesus said in John 17:3, "Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent." 

Strengthening Families
Our hearts cry is to reach, reproduce, and release godly leaders.   And this starts with the family.   @Advance strong family life is a core value.   @Advance we measure success by the spiritual, emotional, social, and financial health of our families.   We believe that every family @Advance will grow stronger with each passing week, by the grace of God.   We know that strong families require the presence of God.

And the ark of God remained with the family of Obededom in his house three months. And the LORD blessed the house of Obededom, and all that he had.   - I Chronicles 13:14

Families are blessed when the presence of God is revealed in the home.   In everything we do @Advance , we aim to help families experience the presence of God. If you want to discover God's presence in your family, Advance is a great place for you to connect.   

Whether single, dating, or married, you'll find love, strength, and acceptance at Advance!

Influencing the Marketplace
Our hearts cry is to reach, reproduce, and release godly leaders in the family and in the marketplace.  We concentrate on the marketplace because there decisions get made that affect the lives of everyone.    The influencers are in the marketplace.    We believe that God desires to raise a generation of marketplace leaders who are passionate about HIM and use their influence for the Kingdom of God.  We want to reform the marketplace by and for "Christ in us, the hope of glory."

In Acts 17, Paul stood in the heart of marketplace on Mars Hill and preached a relevant message of the Gospel.   This is the spirit that we are called to bring forth: godly leaders engaged in the marketplace with a relevant message the leads people to Jesus.

We look forward to seeing you soon.
