Unity and Diversity

We strive to be a church that values diversity of ages, genders, races and giftings. We purposely pray for God to make connections between the various sub-cultures in our community. We want all races to be presented in our church, to show our unity while appreciating the differences God has created in each one of us. As heaven will be full of all tribes and tongues and nations worshipping the Lord - so we pray that the kingdom of God will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

To Worship

Because of God's love for us The Amadeo Church wants to see people worship in spirit & truth in all parts of their lives. We are dedicated to worshipping with singing, making music and fine arts, dancing (or some facscimile), writing, and the giving of our money & our time. If we can do it and honor God, we give it back to the one who gave everything to us.

To Love the Poor, the Sick & The Oppressed

The Amadeo Church is dedicated to serving what our culture calls the "least of these." We do this by local and global service projects, by actually being in our culture where the "meat is in the street." We try not to get stuck in the "Christian Ghetto."

To Engage the Culture

Amadeo Church is dedicated to engaging the culture in all its various forms - for the glory of God. We do not shun TV, the internet, bars, hospitals, public schools, skate-parks, and messy people. We see them all as opportunities for the teachable moment, or for individual learning opportunities.

To Love the Nations (World)

The Amadeo Church is dedicated to reaching the world with the love and truth of the good news of Jesus Christ.

To Love Our Community

The Amadeo Church is dedicated to loving the community that God has put us in. For us, that is Gilbert, Mesa, Queen Creek & Chandler Arizona.

To Equip The Church

The Amadeo Church is committed to equipping the church to be what God has created them to be, each utilizing their God given gifts.
