OUR STORY
In the fall of 2018 I was on my way back to Kentucky from Kansas City, MO visiting a church plant with some friends. As we drove through St. Louis on I-70 I felt the Holy Spirit whisper to me:
“This would be a great place to plant a church.”
Over the course of the last 7 years the Lord has been speaking to me about going to St. Louis and planting a church where His presence would rest and His glory would be evident. In my times of personal prayer I would often find myself being led to intercede for God’s purposes for the city.
Not only has God been placing a burden on my heart for St. Louis, but He has been grafting my wife and I’s heart into the greater story He is writing over the city. In multiple visits over the past few years, we have seen miraculous connections and prophetic alignment that we are tracking in the right direction.
Our heart is not to write our own story, but to partake in the story that God is writing. We have a God dream to see a church that is hungry for His presence, passionate to follow Him, and willing to contend in prayer until He moves. We long to see a church take form where believers and unbelievers will say, “Surely God is in this place.”
As we plant our lives in St. Louis we know that we are linking arms with powerful believers who have been tilling the hard soil of this city for decades. We understand that Radiant City Church isn’t the solution to all the issues in the city, however, we do know that we have been called by God to join the greater church of St. Louis to see revival and renewal come to the land.
