Who we are
Growing God’s Kingdom Through Active Discipleship
If you come and explore the Ivanrest Church community, you will most-likely hear about and hopefully sense two very significant concepts: “God’s Kingdom” and “Active Discipleship.” We spent significant time exploring the Bible discerning what exactly we as the church are supposed to be about and came out with the overarching purpose of “Growing God’s Kingdom through Active Discipleship.”
We are excited to experience and celebrate the transforming Kingdom of God coming more and more in our world, our community and our lives bringing us true joy for today and hope for tomorrow. We are on the lookout for opportunities where God might use us to grow his kingdom wherever he has placed us. In order to be used by God to transform this world, we must first of all be transformed by him. We want to be true disciples of Jesus. We are on the lookout for opportunities where God invites us to grow more and more into his image in very practical, life-transforming ways.
The community and ministries of Ivanrest Church are built on those two profound and yet basic concepts. We admit right up front that this is a lifelong journey for us as a community and as individuals as we grow as disciples and see God’s kingdom growing in us and around us. We certainly haven’t perfected it, but if you are willing to join us in this journey, welcome!

Leader Bio:
Tony has made Ivanrest Church his church home since 2001, which makes him the longest tenured person on staff. Over those years he and his wife Stacey have experienced the joy of their two children growing up and then moving on to college (and beyond) leaving their nest empty. They also added a new son-in-law from the Ivanrest staff (see: Andy Sherwood)! Tony relaxes by listening to the Detroit Tigers on the radio (even now that they are bad), doing yard work, walking in the evening, and reading a wide variety of books as part of a monthly pastors’ book club.

We assist families during temporary periods of homelessness, encourage them to create an achievable vision and develop a strong foundation for self-sufficiency.

Help my unbelief
Dear God, help my unbelief. When I'm in pain, I forget that you care about me. I forget that you have helped me through my trials. I forget that you hold me in your arms to keep me safe. I forget that you are feeling my pain with me. I forget that you love me, I forget that I am important to you. Show me your presence - let me feel your enveloping love. Heal my hurting soul. Thank you for staying with me even in my unbelief.
