Why the name?
Nehemiah 2:17 is our calling to live differently.
“You see the trouble we are in, how Jerusalem lies in ruins with its gates burned. Come let us build the wall of Jerusalem.”
We exist to help people Pursue God Passionately. Nehemiah's heart broke for the whole city but God changed his heart first through prayer.
Life isn’t easy and we desire everyone to seek out a deep personal relationship with Jesus as a number one priority.
We exist to Care for One Another Deeply. The people diligently took care of each other as they rebuilt the city in 52 days.
They protected, fought for each other and worked together to accomplish the vision. Building 217church for Jesus starts with strong relationships. We do this through 217groups.
We exist to Serve the Community Relentlessly. Nehemiah involved everyone in the city to do their part. We exist for the good of the city and that means everyone can do something to serve.
