Our DNA is our main values and beliefs:
At Sojourn Church, we are deeply committed to reading and studying the Scriptures. We believe that the Bible is the inspired and authoritative Word of God, guiding our beliefs, practices, and decisions.
Our core belief centers around the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We emphasize that our ultimate home is in heaven, and our earthly lives are an opportunity to live out and share the good news of salvation through Jesus.
Located in Gardner, KS, we gather each Sunday to worship together as a close-knit community. We also place great importance on observing baptism and communion as essential elements of our faith.
Sojourn Church is dedicated to both local and global missions. We actively love and serve our local community, extend our care to neighboring communities, and engage in international missions to reach communities far away from our own.
As prescribed in the Bible, our church is led by a group of Elders who provide spiritual guidance, leadership, and oversight in accordance with biblical principles.

At Sojourn Church, we gather for worship, immersing ourselves in the transformative power of God's Word. Our worship services include passionate preaching, heartfelt reading, and uplifting singing of Scripture. Additionally, we observe an ordinance every Sunday, alternating between Communion and Baptism, as a tangible expression of our faith and unity in Christ.
We believe that God is more interested in your heart than your attire. Feel free to dress comfortably and come as you are. Whether you prefer casual shirts, dress shirts, casual pants, or dress pants, you're welcome to worship with us in a manner that suits your personal style. Ties, bow ties, or any attire you choose are appropriate because, at Sojourn, we value genuine worship over dress codes.
Sojourn Kids provides a welcoming environment for children ages newborn through 4 years old every Sunday morning during our Worship Service at Grange Hall. While younger children engage in enriching activities tailored to their age group, we encourage kids five years old and above to join their parents in the Worship Service on Sunday mornings. We aim to nurture the faith of our youngest members and create a meaningful experience for the entire family.
We invite you to explore our essential beliefs below and join us in our pursuit of living out our faith in boldness and passion.
We believe that every word of Scripture, Old and New Testaments, is inspired by God and inerrant in the original writing. The Bible is the supreme and final authority in all matters of faith and life.
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe that Jesus was begotten by the Holy Spirit and born of Mary, a virgin. He is both true God and true man, fully divine and fully human.
We believe that Adam and Eve were created in the image of God, but they sinned, incurring both physical and spiritual death—separation from God. Through Adam, all people are born with a sinful nature, and are sinners in thought, word, and deed.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice—perfect and sinless. Because of His sacrifice, all who believe in Him are justified by His shed blood.
We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, His ascension into heaven, His present life as High Priest and Advocate, and His imminent return to judge the living and the dead.
We believe that all who receive, by faith, the Lord Jesus Christ are born again by the Holy Spirit and become children of God. The Holy Spirit is given as a guarantee of salvation until believers attain the promised eternal life.
We believe in the bodily resurrection of believers, the eternal heavenly inheritance of the saved, and the eternal punishment of the lost.
We believe the local church is a group of Christians who regularly gather to hear God’s Word preached, to respond in obedience, to participate in the ordinances, and to encourage one another to share the gospel locally and with those who are not yet saved.
We believe in the scriptural ordinances of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Believers should be baptized as a symbol of their death, burial, and resurrection with Christ, and they should celebrate the Lord’s Supper (communion) to proclaim His death until His return.
We believe disciple-making is the mission of the Church. Jesus Christ gave a clear command to make disciples of all nations. The local church should seek to make and send disciples both locally and globally, reaching both the reached and unreached people groups.
