Join us for Worship Sundays at 9:15 and 11:00 a.m.
Our dream is to be one church multiplied to transform West Central Florida with the Gospel.
What are we doing?
Follow Jesus. Love People. Make Disciples.
Jesus calls us to follow Him (Matthew 4:19-20)
He commands His followers to love God and others (Matthew 22:37-40).
He commissions His followers to make disciples (Matthew 28: 18-20).
Our Mission: What are we doing?
Our mission is a guiding compass that helps us express a direction and points everyone in that direction. It's a golden thread that weaves through every activity of our church. Simply put, it is "the great commission communicated in a culturally relevant way."
Our Values: Why Are We Doing it?
Biblical Authority - living in submission to God's Word.
Transformational Worship - becoming more like Jesus as we glorify God.
Relational Discipleship - Growing spiritually and inviting others to join us.
Missional Living - sharing the gospel as we show His love wherever He sends us.
Our Strategy: How are we doing it?
Worship. Connect. Engage.
Worship in Sunday morning services.
Connect in a Life group on Sunday or throughout the week.
Engage in three areas: 1:1 discipleship, develop &equip, and deploy for evangelism.
Our three part strategy is a process by which we accomplish our mission. Think of it as a flashlight that helps people see their way and get involved. It connects specific action steps to the mission and vision of Bell Shoals.
Our Marks: When are we successful?
The Seven Marks of a Disciple

Marks: Our marks are the attributes or characteristics of an individual's life that reflect accomplishment of our mission. They provide the standard by which our mission can be measured with respect to an individual's spiritual growth through the ministry of Bell Shoals.
Follow Jesus. Love People. Make Disciples.
