About Us

From the very beginning, God’s mission was expansive.

In Genesis 1:28, He blessed humanity and commanded them to “be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it.” That wasn’t just about population growth, but the spread of God’s image and His glory into every corner of creation.

Later, in Matthew 28:18–20, Jesus rephrases this call: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations.” The movement of God’s people has always been outward the sake of His name!

In recent decades, the church has rightly focused on reaching the cities. Urban centers are influential, strategic, and densely populated. That investment has been wise and fruitful.

But along the way, we’ve lost sight of the rest of the map.

While attention and resources flowed toward population centers, rural communities were quietly unraveling. Pastors burned out. Churches closed. And the next generation disappeared.

Today, in many rural towns, you’re far more likely to find a Dollar General, a bar, or a closed-down church than a vibrant gospel-preaching congregation.

But that’s exactly why we’re here.

We believe a focus on rurality is worth recovering, not because rural life is idyllic, but because God’s glory should be seen from every place.

Psalm 72:19 says, “Blessed be His glorious name forever; may the whole earth be filled with His glory.”

Habakkuk 2:14 points to the day when the knowledge of that glory will cover the earth “as the waters cover the sea.”

And Ephesians 3:10 reminds us that through the church the manifold wisdom of God is made known to the heavenly realms.

Rural places matter.

God’s glory deserves to be seen in every square mile.

Our Mission

We exist to equip the saints to lead healthy churches in rural places.

We do this by training pastors, strengthening leadership teams, and supporting churches with biblical clarity and practical help.
