Our Purpose
Why we do what we do at SGNM.
-
Our Purpose
We love to hear Good News that makes life worth living.
The message of Jesus Christ is the Good News of God to us.
This Good News is for sharing—always—but particularly in bad news times like ours.
We spotlight the Good News to people who’ve not heard or received it.
We shine light on the Good News for people who already have heard and embraced it.
Our motto: Live to Serve; Learn to Live!

Spotlight Good News Scripture Study
Stories and Scripture
Our good news stories grow out of the best good news story—the story of salvation in Jesus Christ.
We therefore provide resources geared to teach the salvation story found in Scripture and Christian Theology.
Service and Scripture
Jesus Christ, the center of the salvation story, said he came “not to be served but to serve—and to give himself as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45).
We therefore offer resources based in Scripture and Christian Theology to equip us to serve others.
Access to Scripture Study Resources
Videos, podcasts, written resources made available through our spotlightgoodnews.com website and other social media platforms
-
Our Ministry Target Area
Our primary ministry target area is Greater Omaha, Nebraska (Omaha, Lincoln, Council Bluffs).
Most good news stories and service opportunities therefore are drawn from this vicinity.
Our Spotlight Scripture Study resources apply more generally to Greater Omaha and beyond.
