Who We are
Since we launched in 2018 God has amazed us and sent so many hungry people to our community! We started as a mobil, load-in – load-out church , but after 3.5 years God blessed us with permanent facility at Cartwright & 1092 for more people to experience Destiny. We truly believe that we have found our Destiny, and we are praying that countless others in Missouri City will find theirs!

Our Story

We are a church plant in the heart of Missouri City, TX. Our journey began 12 years ago, seated near the top of the Edwards Dome in St. Louis.  It was the end of the North American Missions service, and God had literally crushed us with a burden to plant a church, and consumed us with a burden for lost souls. We sat there, until most of the crowd had left the building, and the musicians had packed up.  Tears flowed freely, and we were in no hurry leave the building after such an encounter with God.

We left that conference with a burden, but unclear about how this would happen in our lives at that time.  So, we tucked our feelings safely into the background, and continued working for God in our local church.  About 3.5 years ago, God again smote our hearts with a burden to plant a church, but this time, he told us where.  We feel that God is calling us to return to the Houston area, but specifically Missouri City.  We asked God for a specific confirmation, as we traveled to Indianapolis for a Church Conference in 2016. We walked into the first service, only to hear a message entitled “Go!”.  Over and over, the preacher declared that “God never said ‘stay ye’; He said ‘Go ye’!”.  The last night of the Conference, General Superintendent Bernard told about his calling to plant a church in Austin, as he preached “It’s Time to Act”!  As he told of their experiences, we began to see our own story unfold.

Over and over, God has confirmed His word to us!  When Hurricane Harvey recently devastated the Houston area, we were again overwhelmed with compassion for our home town, and again, the tears would not stop.  We felt that this was the final confirmation of God’s will for our future.  Our mission is simply this: to make disciples of Jesus Christ and to connect others to their God-given destiny.  Missouri City is Home to over 75,000 souls, with almost 300,000 in the surrounding areas.

It is God’s desire that none should perish.  Since we launched in 2018 God has amazed us and sent so many hungry people to our community! We have outgrown our current location and will soon be meeting in a new space with room for more people to experience Destiny.  We truly believe that we have found our Destiny, and we are praying that countless others in Missouri City will find theirs!
