About Charis Church
-
We are a church in Shawnee, Kansas, started by a passionate group of believers who want to see local residents go through life transformation. We believe this is possible through the community, teaching, and healing that a united group of believers can achieve.
You will quickly see upon visiting that our Pastor, Max Cornell, is a genuine and loving man who wants to see every visitor and member come to know Jesus on a deeper level. We are not a church to just attend and check off on your list for the day. Our roots run much deeper than that.
We want to see every facet of you come into alignment with the love of your God. After all, He died for you to know Him intimately. And if there is one thing we can share with you as you read this (even if you never come visit) - your heavenly Father is a good Dad who doesn't cause all the bad things to happen in your life in order to teach you lessons. He is a loving and merciful Father who is full of compassion and peace. He wants good for you all the days of your life. He loved you so much that He came and died for you, and now all He wants in return is your heart.
From the stage, you'll hear a very similar message every Sunday. We want to drive home the point that God loves you more than you'll ever know or can imagine. We believe that through the understanding of your own identity, you'll live more righteously out of sheer desire than you ever could have out of obligation. The love of a Father so deep is what transforms a life.
