Our Mission & Vision

GRACE AND ACCEPTANCE FOR ALL

In the parable of the Prodigal Son, Jesus paints a beautiful and clear picture of our Father:
“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.”  Luke 15: 20

No cross-examination… no lecture… no leading in a proper prayer of repentance. Just love for His lost son.

The Father’s not waiting for us to pray the right way or to show the proper remorse for our failures; He is simply waiting for us to return to Him. God’s desire is to give us grace (unmerited favor)… And then for us to give that same grace to everyone around us…unconditionally!

We extend grace to others even before we know they are really sorry…before they learn their lesson…before they really change…before they promise to never do it again…Just like our Heavenly Father does for us.

 

WE VALUE WHAT GOD VALUES:
PEOPLE/RELATIONSHIP

Jesus determines the value of people by paying the price to purchase them!  Matthew 13:44 says that the Father spent all He had (Jesus) to purchase mankind. 

Jesus spent the majority of His time on earth developing friendships. People are the most valuable thing in the universe.

 Jesus said, “On love hangs all the law and prophets.” Why would our focus be on anything other than love?

 Relationships and love are more important than theology.

 MORE is committed to allowing His Spirit to direct every ministry in the church.

 MORE is committed to being a prototype church, in that we will create a grace-
filled environment that allows people to grow in their particular gifting.

 MORE is committed to creating an environment where God can encounter people.

 This staff will strive to maintain a healthy environment for all people.

 We will give grace to those who fail.

“Thank you for taking the time to peruse our web site. We are honored that you desire to know more about the church and our leadership team. Leadership is one of the most important factors when choosing a house of worship for you and your family.

At MORE, we are committed to having people in leadership that embody the Mission statement of our church: “MORE exists to provide an opportunity for all people to have a real encounter with a real God…and through that encounter find their unique purpose.”

Every staff member works hard to usher in the presence of God into every meeting and service. We know that church without His Presence is meaningless. Our hope and prayer is that God will encounter you like never before and as a result of that encounter, you will be forever changed.

In Isaiah 6, Isaiah entered into God’s throne room and was commissioned to become one of the greatest prophets the world has ever known. Ephesians 4 states that the purpose of church leadership is to “equip the saints to do the work of the ministry” and that is our desire for you and every member of your family: That you would find your created purpose and we would help equip you to walk in that purpose.”

– Pastor Daryl Roach

Frequently Asked Questions

WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?

5511 Amarillo Blvd. W. , Amarillo, TX 79106
(Go to our contact page or click here to open in Google Maps).

WHAT ARE YOUR SUNDAY SERVICE TIMES?

We meet at 10:o0am.  The nursery and children’s church are available at both services.  MORE Youth (7th-12th grades) meets each Sunday after worship in the 10:00 service.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

Wear what you want!  We have people that love to dress their best, and we have friends who are just getting off a shift at work and still in their uniform.  We just want you to be comfortable!

WHAT ARE YOUR SERVICES LIKE?

We start our services with 30-40 minutes of worship, followed by 30-40 minutes of the word.  At the end of our service our ministry team is available for anyone wanting prayer. Of course we can’t say for certain how every Sunday will look, as we allow for changes at the Holy Spirit’s prompting.

WHEN SHOULD I ARRIVE?

Depends.  Do you want to hang out, have coffee/tea before the service starts?  We’d love to get to know you beforehand!  If you have kids, you can drop them off as early as 15 minutes before your service starts. 

WHAT DO YOU HAVE FOR MY KIDS?

We provide services for birth through 5th grades at the 9 and 10:30 AM meetings.  Nursery children (birth through Pre-K) are divided into 4 rooms according to age, while Kindergarten through 6th graders meet in our children’s area at the end of our secure hallway.  Kids are served snacks & have a Bible lesson along with worship, ministry time and crafts/play time.  You can learn more about our kid’s ministry here.

MORE Youth (7th-12th) meets every Sunday after worship during the second service and on Wednesday nights, where they eat dinner, hang out, have opportunity to dive into the word and worship together.  Often the teens are given an opportunity to share their hearts and give a message with Pastor Tanner cheering them on!  Learn more about our youth here.

HOW DOES THE MUSIC SOUND?

We have a full band at MORE, and we believe corporate worship is a time where we become a unified body that shows our gratitude and love for our Creator. We believe the Spirit of the Lord brings freedom so we seek His presence, especially in worship.  Yes our team practices, but they’re also happy enough to change mid-stream if they feel led.  We sing contemporary songs by Gungor, Hillsong, Bethel, Andy Squyres and others, as well as tried & true favorites. We love hymns, psalms, prophetic worship, songs of the 1890’s and 1990’s, gospel, rock ’n’ roll, funk, country, blues, stadium anthems and folk music!  Read more about our heart for worship from our leaders on our Music page.  Our musicians also write many of their own worship songs.
