Who We Are

We see a river of life flowing through Central Illinois that embodies God’s presence and His Kingdom advancing through His people, the Church.

We are like trees planted along this river with our roots growing deep into Him as the source of life and love for us. We are growing in Christ-like maturity through keeping our eyes and hearts focused on His presence, saying yes to whatever He calls us to.

This river of life flows into every corner of our communities, bringing spiritual renewal. Our community is on mission with the Holy Spirit working with Him in our neighborhoods, workplaces, and families –inviting people into Jesus centered living.

We are empowered by the Spirit to minister, give, serve, love, heal, prophesy, display mercy and show compassion. God’s presence flows out of us bringing His life, healing, and hope to Central Illinois!
