About us
Who we are
The Embassy is a Spirit-filled, life-giving church in Lebanon, Missouri, committed to helping people encounter God, grow in His Word, and walk in their God-given purpose.
We are passionate about hosting the presence of God, preaching the truth of Scripture, and building a strong, healthy community where lives are genuinely transformed through Jesus Christ.
A Welcome From Our Pastor
Welcome to The Embassy.
My heart is simple that every person who walks through our doors would encounter the real presence of God and discover the life He has for them.
No matter your background, your past, or where you are in your faith journey, you are welcome here. We are building a church that is passionate about the presence of God, grounded in the truth of His Word, and committed to seeing lives genuinely transformed by the power of Jesus Christ.
My prayer is that when you visit, you don’t just attend a service you experience God in a real and personal way.
We would be honored to welcome you this Sunday.

OUR MISSION
The Embassy exists to host the presence of God, awaken hearts to His truth, and see lives restored through the power of Jesus Christ — reaching the lost, restoring the broken, and releasing believers to carry the gospel with power in our community and beyond.
OUR VISION
Our vision is to become a Spirit-empowered church that reflects Jesus to our community and beyond — a place where God’s presence transforms lives, families thrive in faith, and believers live every day on mission for Christ.
OUR CORE VALUES
Presence
We host God before we help people.
We believe everything begins and flows from the presence of God. Before we plan, perform, or preach, we pursue Him first. When God is with us, lives change.
(Exodus 33:14)
Truth
We build our lives on God’s Word.
The Bible is our foundation and final authority. We teach it boldly, live it faithfully, and allow its truth to transform how we think, live, and love.
(John 17:17)
Transformation
We believe the Gospel changes everything.
Jesus doesn’t just improve lives — He transforms them. Every ministry and message at The Embassy exists to see people healed, restored, and made new in Christ.
(2 Corinthians 5:17)
People
We love people the way Jesus does.
Every person matters to God, so every person matters to us. We welcome the broken, the searching, and the believer alike — because grace makes room for everyone.
(John 13:35)
Empowerment
We equip believers to live on mission.
The church isn’t a building to attend but a body to belong to. We raise up Spirit-filled believers who carry God’s presence into homes, workplaces, and communities.
(Acts 1:8)
why the embassy
An embassy represents the culture and authority of its home nation in a foreign land.
At The Embassy, we believe the Church is called to represent the Kingdom of God right here in our community. Our mission is to create a place where heaven’s culture is experienced on earth where God’s presence is honored, His Word is preached boldly, and people are equipped to live on mission every day.
This isn’t just a church to attend.
It’s a people to belong to…
a mission to live…
and a Kingdom to represent.
Welcome to The Embassy.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
God
We believe God is the Creator of the universe who made mankind in His image for fellowship with Himself and stewardship over creation. He is perfect in wisdom, sovereignty, holiness, justice, mercy, and love. We believe in one God who exists in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ
We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God who came to this earth as Savior of the world. He died on the cross for our sins, was buried, and was raised from the dead on the third day. Salvation is received by placing faith in what Jesus accomplished on the cross.
The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit is the Divine Person sent by Jesus to indwell, guide, and empower the believer. He convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment and empowers the Church to fulfill the Great Commission.
The Bible
We believe the entire Bible is inspired by God, without error, and is the final authority for faith, conduct, and doctrine.
The Church
We believe the Church is the body of Christ, of which He is the head. All who place their trust in Christ are born of the Spirit and are members of His body.
Baptism
We believe those who respond to the gospel and repent of their sins should be baptized in obedience to the Lord.
Personal Relationship
We believe every believer should grow in relationship with Jesus by obeying God’s Word, yielding to the Holy Spirit, and being conformed to the image of Christ.
Communion
We believe in taking Communion as an act of remembering what the Lord Jesus did for us on the cross.
Abundant Life
We believe that through Christ, believers are overcomers and that God desires His children to experience the abundant life He has promised.
The Return of Christ
We believe in the personal return of Jesus Christ, which will bring the end of the present age, final judgment, and the beginning of the age to come.
God’s Sovereignty
We believe God, in His perfect timing and wisdom, will bring all things to their proper completion and establish the new heaven and the new earth.
