Why Columbia?
“A distinct midwest city with the potential for Statewide impact.”
Columbia, Missouri is a rapidly growing Midwest college town known for its sports, arts, and midwest sensibilities. The suburban ring around the historic city center is rapidly expanding as young families settle and plant roots.
What if someone reached into this area to engage them for God's glory and His kingdom?
The Team
Samuel & Leslie Kassing
Samuel and his wife Leslie spent 14 years together in campus ministry and after graduating from Covenant Theological Seminary began to feel God’s call into church planting. Samuel is passionate about seeing healthy churches planted in the Midwest that honor God and love people. His skill set in campus ministry fostered a burden and drive for ministries to be established and built upon prayer and leadership development. From lost to leader. He desires to see a network of churches working together in a gospel-ecosystem to reach Columbia, Missouri. Leslie is now serving Columbia through her work as a professional counselor. Together they feel led to begin this work.
Lance & Kelsey Crandall
For 10 years Lance and his wife Kelsey saw college students won to the Lord, built up in their faith, and sent out on mission as disciples of Christ. It is with that same holistic vision and passion for making Jesus known that the Lord has led them to plant a church in Columbia, Missouri. Lance brings a vibrancy and warmth to the call of being a pastor, while Kelsey now faithfully serves the city of Columbia through her skills as a professional counselor. They believe that not only is Columbia an ideal city for their family to love and serve, but that it is also a strategic city for reaching Mid-Missouri with the gospel.

In order to begin our work in Columbia, we will need to raise the funding needed to support our planters and their families, provide resources to love our neighbors in Columbia well, and for the costs of gathering for worship.
