Stello Steps

Stello Step 1 (~5 min)

We believe our vision is simple yet powerful: Embrace the difference of God’s Word so that you can be the difference in your world. We believe God’s Word truly transforms believers so they can impact their friends, family, coworkers, and community. That’s why our name “Stello” comes from the Greek word meaning “to be sent with purpose”—we are an Apostolic church that believes the same signs, miracles, and wonders of the first-century church are still active today. At the core, we believe in three pillars: love God (through vibrant, biblical worship), embrace truth(trusting and teaching the Bible fully), and become change (living out our calling to make a difference).

Stello Step 2 (~4 min)

We believe in being a Spirit-led church—the Holy Spirit is a gift for every believer and guides both our services and our daily lives (we stay flexible to follow Him). We believe in being passionate—passion for God produces excellence over time, and we value heart over perfection. We believe in growth—true relationship with Jesus leads to personal spiritual growth and reaching more people. And we believe deeply in community—modeled after the Book of Acts, which is why Life Groups are central: they help Spirit-filled believers connect authentically, build real friendships, and avoid isolation.

Stello Step 3 (~7 min)

We believe what sets Stello apart is being:

  • Spirit-filled—God’s Spirit brings life, order from chaos, and vibrant presence to believers today.
  • Bible-believing—every word of Scripture is true, inspired, transformative, and powerful for faith and change.
  • A praying church—we pray with the power seen in Acts, drawing near to God in consecration and expectation.
  • Others-focused—”It’s all about Jesus… and others!” We believe Jesus came to seek and save the lost, so we prioritize loving and reaching people in our community, not ourselves.

Stello Step 4 (~3 min)

We believe every person has God-given time, talents, and treasure to steward for eternal impact. We believe in redeeming our time through serving, discovering and using our talents on teams, and giving generously (including tithing) as a heart issue that supports God’s vision. We believe serving is humbling and sacrificial, but it’s how we love our brothers and sisters and prepare for Jesus’ return. We believe God has an amazing purpose and clear path for you—and we’ll support you fully as you step in.

Join a Team (~1 min)

We believe serving together builds unity and uniformity in our community. We believe in a “try before you buy” approach—you can explore multiple teams, jump in, and see what fits without long-term pressure. We believe agreeing to simple Sunday guidelines helps us serve with one heart. Thank you for being willing to serve and be the difference—we’re grateful you’re part of what God is doing at Stello!
