Why CoMo?
Affectionately known by locals as CoMo, Columbia is a growing educational and medical hub in central Missouri. Located between the state's four major cities and just twenty-five minutes north of the capital, Columbia is home to the state’s flagship research university and plays an outsized role in Missouri's life – a distinct midwest city with the potential for statewide impact and with significant opportunities to serve.
What if someone reached into this area to engage them for God's glory and with his love?
“A distinct midwest city
with the potential for
Statewide impact.”
Spiritual Reality
Post-Christian
Columbia operates from a memory of Jesus, stuck in an endless cycle of striving, trying to prove themselves through their performance and achievement. A place where even the notion of God is foreign. Yet, Columbia is a place where people are simultaneously curious and skeptical.
Need for Gospel Churches
People in Columbia are open to hearing about Jesus. Thankfully, there are other gospel preaching churches in Columbia. Sadly, there are not enough to engage the current population, let alone the expanding population. We want to be another church that enters into our cities’ questions and doubts.
