Our story

We started by making room in a living room.

A short note from Caleb about why we came to Meridian, and why we are still setting up every Sunday.

In 2023, Marisa and I moved to Meridian after nine years of serving as an associate pastor in Spokane. We kept seeing new neighborhoods grow south of Overland Road, thousands of new houses with no church within walking distance.

So we opened our living room on Tuesday nights. Eleven people showed up. They brought questions, kids, dinners, and a willingness to see what God might build in a new place.

Our first Sunday in the gym was September 2024. Sixty-four people came. Since then, this church has been carried by people who show up early, stack chairs, teach kids, pour coffee, and make room for one another.

We are grateful you found us. We would love to meet you.
