Our Vision:
Helping people live the ONE Adventure!
Our Mission:
Pursuing God Radically
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.
Hebrews 12:1 [NLT]

Our Core Values:
Following God's Truth
At Adventure, we devote our lives to following the truth of God's word. The bible is our guide to help us navigate all of life's Adventures.
Make them holy by your truth; teach them your word, which is truth.
John 17:17 [NLT]
Make them holy by your truth; teach them your word, which is truth.

Doing Life Together
We are also committed to forming lasting relationships. We believe life transformation happens best in circles, not rows!
This is not the time to pull away and neglect meeting together, as some have formed the habit of doing, because we need each other! In fact, we should come together even more frequently, eager to encourage and urge each other onward as we anticipate that day dawning.
Hebrews 10:25 [TPT]

Engaging Our Community
Adventure desires to be positive representation of Jesus & to bring the love & hope of Jesus to families in our community!

Having REAL fun!
We believe that God is calling us to risk-taking faith. We love being together, & we laugh often in the grace of God and the presence of others.

Our Story: How it all started...
Movies 10
On Sunday, September 28, 2003,
we unloaded a 14' trailer at Movies 10 in Bradley, IL.
Armed with a vision to create environments that
help people find their way back to God,
little did we know all that God had in store for us and the church planting "adventure" he would take us on!
Liberty Intermediate School
For a short season we met inside of Liberty Intermediate School. During this time, we began reaching young families in the Manteno, Bradley, & Bourbonnais communities.
Ministry was flourishing, and Adventure was growing!
God had another chapter to write. We began preparing for our future and in 2008, God opened up an avenue for us to purchase our first facility.
Our First Building: 235 N. Kinzie Ave.
In 2009, we began construction on our first facility.
After a few short months of construction,
we held our first service there on Easter Sunday of 2010.
Our ministries began to flourish,
and we quickly outgrew that facility.
