About
As a church we have seen God do amazing things. God grew us from a small chapel in Windsor Heights to now four locations in Des Moines with over 1,600 people. We have seen God grow a small Bible study on the campus of Drake University to seven collegiate ministries at colleges throughout the Midwest. In the last few years God has raised up eight workers from our church to reach unreached people groups across the globe. So, what is the next step? We believe God has led us to plant a church in Providence, Rhode Island.
Why Rhode Island?
``Providence, Rhode Island is one of the least reached cities in the United States. According to Barna Group, Providence is only 2 percent Evangelical and one of the least Bible-minded cities in our country. Providence also has 58,000 college students in the city and surrounding area. College students are arguably the most strategic mission field in the U.S.”
