It all comes back to our mission: We're empowered by God to reach others for Christ.
God is calling us to reach people for Christ in the Twin Cities, greater Minnesota, the Midwest, and yes—even to the ends of the earth. And that reach can look so many different ways.
Maybe you're ready to jump in and go with us—maybe you're curious and just want to know more. Let this page be a starting point. Read on to find out more about our current expansion efforts, what we're praying for, and how you can be involved.

Jesus gave his followers a pretty straightforward mission: GO and reach people for him. And our mission remains the same to this day. But this requires faith—faith to go where he sends us, even when the future is unknown, the story is still unwritten. God knows, and so we go.
Recently at church, Jason shared the vision for where we believe God is leading us next. Watch that message here.
What are we praying for? Right now, a permanent home for our Rochester campus, as well as any other opportunities that may arise. Our Rochester campus currently meets in the Mayo Civic Center. Historically, when we move a mobile campus into a permanent location, three-times the amount of people walk through the doors!
And God continues to surprise us with other opportunities. We're humbled when an existing church expresses their readiness to pass the baton, inviting us to continue reaching people for Christ in their communities. Another opportunity may be purchasing land where we desire to build a permanent location in the future. As long as God continues to put these opportunities in our path, we will prayerfully consider stepping into them.
These communities are home to a lot of people who need to hear about the love of Jesus, and we need to be ready—but it is incredibly important to us to move forward in any expansion effort debt-free.
Construction is moving right along! Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC are all happening at the same time, keeping things on track. Kid’s classrooms and the auditorium are getting ready for sheetrock and paint, which should wrap up by the end of February. This spring, windows and doors will go in, and the final layer of pavement will be added to the parking lot.

In May 2024, we purchased 40 acres of land just 15 minutes from the Mayo Civic Center. Site design is underway, but there’s still work to do before construction begins. We need to raise $7 million to move forward. If funding comes together on time, we hope to start this summer and open in 2026.
