Our Story

God loves to tell long stories of his grace. The story of how he planted this church in the heart of Harrisburg is no exception! We are a testimony to his grace and faithfulness.

JANUARY 2017

In January 2017, Ben and Greg met each other during a Greek class in seminary. They became instant friends.

APRIL 2022

Ben and a small group of people in Midtown started talking about the need for a new church in their neighborhood.

JUNE 2022

Ben and Greg began dreaming about planting this new church together. Soon, a partnership between them, and their two churches formed.

We are one church started by two churches. We didn’t share a denomination. We didn’t share a network.
We simply shared a love for Jesus and a passion for Midtown.

TODAY

We have been incredibly blessed by God in the short time we have been a church. We are excited to see what God does next in our midst.

We would love for you to be a part of it!
