About Us
Our Vision:
Reach The Next Person For Jesus.
We are a community of people who love Jesus and love our city.
Who we are:
Embrace Madison is a church located in Madison South Dakota. We are part of the Embrace Network of churches. Our hope is that you would get connected to life-giving community, use your talents to be the hands and feet of Jesus through service, and grow deeper in your walk with the Lord. Above all, we want to see God's name glorified, not ours.
We're the first to admit that we're far from perfect — we're real people with real problems, in need of Jesus. No matter who you are or where you come from, you'll fit right in.
Our Story:
It all began with a small group of people meeting in a living room. We had a simple desire to know Jesus more and reach people for Him. Over the years, we’ve seen Jesus grow our community beyond our belief.
Our Vision:
Reaching the next person for Jesus.
So he set off and went to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion; he ran, embraced him, and kissed him.
Luke 15:20
Encounter. Compassion. Embrace. Run.
Encounter
Our hope is to encounter the living God, to meet with Jesus. This can happen anywhere, but we pray it’d happen during each and every worship service at Embrace. Services are often the starting point for our relationship with Jesus. Because of this, we always consider the first-time guest, while challenging the person who’s been following Jesus for years. We want everyone to encounter the living God during each service.
Compassion
No matter who you are, where you've been, or where you're going, God welcomes you with compassion. He meets you right where you are. Our hope is to do the same! From the person who has attended for years to the new face who feels unworthy of God’s love, everyone is received with compassion. You are welcome here.
Embrace
God loves us right where we are and yet He wants to change us. When God embraces us, we can no longer remain the same. We're called to take the next step with Jesus to continue growing in our relationship with him. Joining a group. Serving. Becoming more like Jesus. Embrace your next step. Are you ready to take that next step?
Run
Our relationship with Jesus doesn't end when a worship service or group does. Instead of staying inside the walls of the church, we get moving. We lead. We serve. We forgive. We love. We multiply. We run to the people and the world around us in hopes of reaching the next person for Jesus
