Dan River Church seeks to win the lost, help believers grow in their walk with Christ and send people out to change the world.

Lost people matter to God: We expect guests to join us each weekend at Dan River Church, so we intentionally bend the Sunday morning experience to make sense to people who are not Christians.

Create contagious environments. Disney said, “Do what you do so well that people want to come back and bring their friends.” Contagious environments are welcoming, excellent, and creative and they exceed people’s expectations.

Make bold moves. We will go where people are not willing to go in order to reach and serve people that other people are not willing to.

Teach for life change. What we think matters far less than what God says. The goal is life change, not information transfer.   Are people applying what they learn or just collecting information?

Intentionally develop leaders. Our job is to equip our volunteer leaders. Our volunteers don’t serve us; we serve our volunteers.

Unleash a culture of generosity. We must teach our people to excel in the grace of giving.
