The name "704 Church" is a modern-take on the Biblical method for naming churches (Church at Thessalonica, Church in Philadelphia, etc.). We believe God has placed us as a church in this locale for the purpose of reaching the people of this locale, the 704! We believe that every man, woman and child living in the 704 is created for relationship with God and can experience that by following Jesus. And we believe that we've been placed here by God to reach them. Not only that, He calls them to follow Him just as they are. It's in following, becoming and doing that all people are continually formed into Christlikeness.
follow, become, do.

Our Elders
We believe that as an expression of the Church we must have the leadership of Elders. Elders serve in various capacities and are charged with sharing in the spiritual weight and responsibilities of leading and caring for the church.
These Elders, along with their wives, are the spiritual overseers of our church:
Thaddeus Fennig, Lead Pastor
George Martos, Treasurer
John Hartman, Chairman
Erik von Husen, Staff-Elder
Andy Baker, Secretary
Philip Diehm
As a church we are devoted to…
Family
We are a kid-friendly and kid-heavy church! We strongly believe that the best is yet to come for the church, and the upcoming generations are a blessing and a responsibility to see them develop a personal walk following Jesus, as well as a unique gifting to be His church, using their gifts, passions, experiences for the furthering of the gospel of Jesus Christ and His Kingdom here, now.
Authenticity
When Jesus called his disciples, when He stands at the door and knocks in Revelation, He doesn't first ask them to be a different type of person, he just calls. We see this played out within our church as people are in all walks of life, with diverse ideas of how to follow Jesus best. We don't require ourselves, or any guest that may want to visit to dress a certain way, love certain songs, or hold to any theological positions beyond our foundation that Jesus is God, we are sinners in need of saving, God made a way through the perfect sacrifice of His son, Jesus Christ, and in His resurrection He is enthroned as King over all Kings and Lord over all Lords.
The Holy Spirit
We are continually seeking to be receptive and responsive to the move of the Holy Spirit. We're receptive, waiting, expecting the Holy Spirit to move, to prompt, to nudge. And we seek to be responsive, changing things because of what the Spirit is doing in the moment. You'll see this come out in our worship and teaching on Sundays, as well as in our midweek Life Groups, Alpha courses, and our Youth Group. My (Thad) motto for preaching is that you prepare like there's no Holy Spirit, and then you preach like there's no preparation.
