Our commitments

These are the things that shape our worship, teaching, and life as a church.

These are the things that shape our worship, teaching, and life as a church.

Scripture-Centered Teaching

We teach through books of the Bible verse by verse because we believe Scripture is the authority for the church. Preaching should help people understand God’s word, see how it connects together, and apply it faithfully in daily life.

Worship Focused on God

Our worship is meant to direct attention toward God rather than toward personalities or performance. We sing together as a church, focusing on truth-filled songs that encourage reverence, gratitude, and worship toward God.

Raising the Next Generation

We want children and young adults to know Scripture, understand it, and grow into maturity in Christ. The church should help train the next generation faithfully in God’s word.

Evangelism and Discipleship

We believe the Gospel should shape everyday life. Through hospitality, relationships, discipleship, and teaching, we seek to help others know Christ and follow Him faithfully.

Biblical Leadership

Our church is volunteer-led by men who teach and serve according to the pattern outlined in Scripture. Financial giving supports the work of ministry, discipleship, and evangelism within the church.

A people in Overland Park, learning to live in obedience to Jesus.

Name Above began with a desire to build a church centered on Scripture, worship, discipleship, and obedience to Christ.

We believe the church should be shaped by God’s word rather than by culture, and remain faithful to the teachings and example of the New Testament.

Our desire is simple: to follow Jesus faithfully, raise the next generation in truth, and help one another grow in obedience to Christ.
