OUR HEART

Mosaic House Ministries exists to create spaces of belonging and becoming — places where people encounter God, grow together, and join His work in the world.

We believe transformation happens best in community: around tables, in shared gardens, in living rooms, during prayer, through mentoring, and in rhythms of life together.

Our Foundation: A Fellowship of Churches

From the beginning, everything has flowed from a covenantal fellowship of Waukegan-area pastors who pray together, discern together, and co-shepherd our city.

This unity is the root system that nourishes every branch of our ministry.

Our Values

Prayer

As a discipleship community on God’s mission together, we practice prayer, hospitality, fellowship, and discipleship with a missional focus.

Prayer is our first practice because communion with God is the end toward which we labor. The Scriptures tell us that eternal life is knowing God (John 17:3). As we know God more deeply, our lives may more closely align with His Kingdom priorities.

Hospitality

Through Mosaic House Ministries, we desire to live with our hearts open to every person. As God has welcomed us in Christ, so we practice hospitality to others. This type of hospitality serves as another context for prayer and discipleship.

The Mosaic community gathers every Friday night to pray for one another, share a meal, and have conversations that are real.

Discipleship

At our core, we are a discipleship community on God's mission together. We desire to see Christians who pray always, live generously, and love deeper. Our way of life together endeavors to both embody and advance this goal for the sake of God's Kingdom.

“The call to discipleship is a commitment solely to the person of Jesus Christ” - Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Relationships

In Ephesians 2, Paul describes how part of Jesus’ purpose was to create one new humanity, freed from divisions and united in God through the finished work of Christ’s death & resurrection. We desire to enjoy this mosaic reality regularly as a way of life. Brenda Salter-McNeil said, “For Jesus, genuine Christian unity is the supreme demonstration of the power and the truth of the gospel for a watching world.” The Psalmist put it this way, “How good and pleasant it is when God’s people dwell together unity!”
