History

In November of 1998, 16 people gathered together in the breakroom of the Eveland Brothers Collision Repair Center and made 2 prayerful decisions. The first was a confident declaration that they were called to establish a local church in the Kansas City metro area, the second was a bold step of faith to enter a contract agreement to purchase our current church facility.

Over the past years we have seen God establish a vibrant, Spirit-filled community that has grown in spirit, discipleship and numbers, with a mission to become a passionate, soul-winning, Spirit-filled fellowship with a heart for local, regional and global missions. Today we are alive with powerful multi-service worship celebrations with incredible ministry to the whole family. Children, youth, family, singles and the elderly all have found a place to connect, receive and serve.

In late 2008, our Children's Ministry was relaunched as ConnectedKiDZ.com with a focus on reaching kids of the 21st century and producing some of the best outreach events around.  The summer of 2009 was the launch of our biggest annual community program called Summer Explosion.  This one week event has evolved into a huge church-wide camp for kids and is now in it's fourth year.

In late 2010, we launched a new service style that we dubbed "Church Interactive."  Our purpose was to change our service structure to get people from being spectators to being participants in our worship experiences.  This change has sparked a growth of 2011 that was unbelievable.  in 2011, the church almost doubled in size and in the fall of 2011, we had to add a third worship experience on Saturday nights.  We are committed to "Making Room For More" and will do whatever it takes to make that happen.

2012 has been declared as a "Year of Increase" for our church.  There is a lot more history to write about this church and we hope it includes you and  your family.  We look forward to seeing what God has in store for us this year.
