- Christian Leader
- In August, our 13-year-old grandson, Jefferson, chose to be baptized (photo above). This followed a time of reflection on his part while he was at a summer Christian camp with his church youth group. He made a re-commitment during the camp and later realized he hadn’t taken the important step of publicly declaring his faith […]
- Look back at Bruce Enns’ hockey coaching days and you’d find him on the ice. “I was a player-coach,” he says. “I was on the ice playing and coaching at the same time. You’re not just on the bench or in the stands. You’re actually in the game.” Enns brings a similar leadership approach to […]
- Churches are often confronted with tough situations and agonizing decisions. Opinions and preferences clash. Feelings arise. Conflicts emerge, and we struggle to resolve them. We discuss, and sometimes we fight. Often, we leave the discussions frustrated and discouraged. Or we somehow decide something, but we’re not really convinced. So, afterward there is grumbling, or perhaps […]
- What We Do
- Church Multiplication
- Church planting continues to be a crucial area of ministry for USMB. Studies show churches are the most effective way to bring more people into the family of God. Partnering with local churches, districts, USMB and Multiply to plant churches, is not just a good thing to do, we must do it. Click to see more about Church Planting.
- Disciple-Making
- USMB is actively involved in helping provide our churches with dynamic ideas, resources and programs for encouraging people to become fully-devoted followers of Jesus. Jesus said, “Go and make disciples….” We strive to facilitate that profound command. Click to see more about Disciple-making.

Renewal Church
Harvest denotes the season for gathering mature crops and marks a period of celebration of effort and growth. For congregations like Renewal MB Church in Rapid City, S.D., autumn brings a busy season and expanded opportunities for ministry.
In the past quarter, Renewal has engaged in new outreach ministries. At a Tuesday coffee with community leaders, Lead Pastor Jon Fiester and NextGen Pastor Abby Hoehne met with local police department leaders, neighborhood managers and others to discuss area concerns, work toward solutions and find potential ways to support other organizations in the Rapid City community.
Renewal’s largest event of the year, Trunk or Treat, reached more than 430 adults and children. The congregation partnered with the local police department, Rapid City Human Relations Commission, Potter’s House Church, Destiny Church and Open Bible Church. God continues to grow Renewal’s capacity to spread love and healing in the highest crime area in Rapid City, S.D.
Along with the outward harvest, the Renewal congregation developed closer connections within its church body. Allowing for more kingdom service, Renewal shifted its outreach ministry to Grow leaders and Grow groups, meaning Grow leaders plan, coordinate and organize service projects for their groups. This also allowed leadership greater opportunities. Over 45 percent of Renewal was involved in Grow groups.”
Prayer Opportunities:
- Spiritual, emotional and physical protection for pastors, elders and leaders with flu season in full swing
- Continual open doors for Gospel conversations with Renewal’s community residents
- Clarity and wisdom for continual event planning to boost local neighborhood engagement.
