Our Mission

Making and growing disciples of Jesus Christ through...

Worship

Worship is the foundation of all we do: as we hear God’s word spoken to us, and as we see his word broken for us, we are then nourished on him and remade into the Body of Christ. We seek to worship the Lord through excellent music, Gospel-centered preaching, and engaging liturgy.

Formation

Formation is the invitation to respond to grace by learning to love God with our entire being. We are committed to offering holistic programming that touches, heals, and equips each generation to follow Jesus Christ and love one’s neighbor.

Mission

Mission calls us forth as we respond to Jesus, who says, “As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you.” (John 20:21) Mission happens as we are sent out to be, like Jesus, poured out for others: the stranger, the poor, the widow, the orphan, and our neighbors. (James 1:27)

Formation Opportunities

Grow in Faith

Sunday Formation

During the school year, we offer Sunday School for all ages at 10:15 a.m.

Speakers and Special Events

We regularly offer special speakers, retreats, and other events throughout the year. 

Wednesday Night Formation

Everyone is invited to join our optional Wednesday Night Dinner, followed by formation programs for all ages.

Group Formation

Small groups, devotional societies, and Bible studies offer rich learning and deep friendships.

Journey with

a community of love and service!

At St. Francis in the Fields, our walk with Christ and one another happens every day, not just on Sunday mornings. Whether you’re looking for a supportive small group, a way to share your gifts with our community, or a mission that brings the love of God to Kentucky and the world, there is an opportunity for fellowship and service for you here.

Stay up to date with our sermons, newsletters, and events.

We’d love to have you join us for worship. Check out our worship resources and learn more about how we glorify God at St. Francis.

We have worship and formation opportunities for all ages and walks of life. Learn more about formation ministries for adults, children, and youth.

Volunteer at church, in ministry, and in the community.
