ZEAL PROFILE
Zeal Church is in Nashville, TN and was founded by Lead Pastors, Pastor JD & Leah Ost in 2015.
Mission
We exist to lead people to reach their full potential in Jesus Christ.
Values
These values create a clear culture where people can come in and know who we are and why we do what we do.
PEOPLE are our Focus: People matter to God, so they matter to us. We make no apologies for going above and beyond to reach those who are far from God.
COMMUNITY is our Heart: We are a church who believes that life change happens within the context of relationships. Real life change happens and real leaders are developed when we take a step towards intentional relationships.
PASSION is our Reflex: Passion is our automatic response to everything we do. Passion for Jesus. Passion for people. Passion for the local church. We get rowdy and we will not apologize for that! We believe that church is a place to laugh and have fun.
LEADERSHIP is our Calling: Everyone is a leader. We believe there is a “10” on every head. God’s mission won’t move forward without leaders. We are called to empower others to fully step into the strengths that God has already placed in them.
EXCELLENCE is our Standard: We are always going to do our best with what’s in our hands. We are prepared, on time, and engaged. We never want to do something halfway, because we know that everything we do is for the Lord!
INNOVATION is our Attitude: Change does not scare us! We don’t see problems; we only see opportunities. We constantly put things on the chopping block. We aren’t afraid to do things that other people won’t try.
GENEROSITY is our Privilege: We see generosity as an honor, not an obligation. We’re a church that desires to be generous with our time, talents, and treasures. We give God the first and best in all areas of our lives, because he has given so much to us.
Systems
This is how we put our Mission into motion.
Know God: We consider reaching people who do not know God personally one of our greatest responsibilities. Deciding to have a personal relationship with God is the best decision you will ever make. System: Weekend Services
Find Freedom: We believe life change happens in the context of relationships. You were not meant to do life alone and we want to help you as you connect you to people to do life with. System: Zeal Groups
Discover Purpose: We believe that if you have a pulse, you have a purpose and we want to equip you to take those steps to fulfilling your purpose. System: Zeal Connect
Make a Difference: We know we were created by God to make a difference in this world. God has a place for you where your unique abilities and passions can impact the lives of others and we want to help you find that place. System: Dream Team, Zeal Global
