Jesus builds His church by saving sinners, making them God’s children, and gathering them into a local family of faith. The New Testament pattern is simple: preach the gospel, plant churches led by qualified elders, cultivate true fellowship, and practice the sacraments. This is how Christ has advanced His mission for 2,000 years. Today, the Midwest has nearly 61 million unchurched or de‑churched people, many unlikely to return to traditional churches. Eau Claire, WI, is one such place, and we aim to plant a church that reaches the unchurched, re‑engages the de‑churched, and helps Christ build His church again.
