A Launch Team is the group of people who help a new church get started. We’ll build friendships, prepare gatherings, and find practical ways to love our neighbors.

You don’t need a perfect story or a church résumé. Start with a conversation. We’ll explore the next step together.

New to faith? Finding your way back?

We’re building a church centered on Jesus, where people can ask honest questions and take a next step without having everything figured out. There’s room for your story.

  • Bring your questions.

    Never been part of a church? Curious about Jesus? You don’t need to know the language or have all the answers to begin a conversation.

  • Your story matters.

    If church has been difficult or you’ve been away for a while, we want to listen, make room for your story, and let relationships grow at a thoughtful pace.

  • Find real community.

    Start by meeting people, sharing life, and serving our neighbors together. You’re welcome to get to know us before deciding where you fit.

A church begins with people

The road to a new beginning.

Before the first Sunday, there’s a story to build together. Here’s the heart of what we’re building.

  1. Build the foundation

    A shared vision. A shared assignment.

    Build relationships, develop leaders, and gather a launch team around a clear mission: proclaim the King, advance the Kingdom, and send citizens on assignment.

    • Grow through Kingdom Life Groups
    • Build a culture of prayer and discipleship
    • Discover gifts and develop leaders
  2. Gather & serve

    Make connections. Meet real needs.

    Create space for new relationships through gatherings and visible service. The launch journey is an opportunity to love our neighbors before inviting them to a Sunday service.

    • Gather people around the vision
    • Explore practical ways to serve others
    • Build meaningful relationships with our neighbors
  3. Launch in 2027

    Begin together. Keep growing together.

    The vision is a church where people encounter Jesus, find community, and discover their calling. The next chapter is taking shape, and more details will be shared when they are ready.

    • Welcome people into worship and community
    • Connect people with Kingdom Life Groups
    • Continue the pathway: Proclaim. Disciple. Equip. Send.

Reach the one. Live on assignment.

Faith with its sleeves rolled up.

Serving others is part of who we are. Here are eight ways we can bring faith into everyday life.

small acts, real connections

Eight outreach ideas

  • SERVE

    Start with a helping hand.

    Meet a practical need in the community through a hands-on service project. Show up, listen, and serve alongside neighbors.

    The first invitation is an act of love.
  • CONNECT

    Meet the neighborhood.

    Introduce The Kingdom Center through personal conversations and neighborhood invitations. Make every interaction friendly, thoughtful, and respectful.

    An invitation begins with a relationship.
  • BLESS

    Lighten someone’s load.

    Explore a gas or grocery blessing that helps with a real, everyday need. Bring generosity into the places people already go.

    Small acts of generosity can open big doors.
  • GATHER

    Make room for families.

    Create a welcoming family gathering where neighbors can connect, children can enjoy themselves, and new friendships can begin.

    Community grows when people have room to connect.
  • PARTNER

    Serve alongside others.

    Look for opportunities to support a local nonprofit or church already meeting needs in the community. Begin by listening and asking how to help.

    We can do more when we serve together.
  • ENCOURAGE

    Bring kindness to the everyday.

    Explore a restaurant or coffee blessing. Encourage people in the middle of their ordinary routines with a thoughtful act of kindness.

    Everyday places can become places of hope.
  • INVITE

    Reach the one near you.

    Gather the team for a neighborhood invitation effort. Combine thoughtful invitations with personal conversations and a willingness to listen.

    Reach the one. Make the invitation personal.
  • WELCOME

    Open the next chapter.

    Extend a warm invitation as the next chapter takes shape. Help neighbors discover the vision and the details of the first gathering once they are confirmed.

    Make the invitation clear. Make the welcome warm.

Outreach ideas in development. More details will be shared as plans take shape.
