ABOUT US

We are children of the mountains. With missional hearts, our call is not to go, but to stay. So, stay we have, and in the staying, we’ve found an abundant life not characterized by traditional abundance, but with the abundance of life fueled by faith. The simplicity of waking up trusting that God has already planned the day, gives us new direction each morning, but keeps us grounded and on mission. Knowing that we are all God’s handiwork and we are all created in Christ Jesus to do good work that he prepared, in advance, for us to do (Ephesians 2:10), we know that we are not the only ones feeling the call.  We are seeing, first hand, the movement of God throughout the mountains.  This isn’t a new plan we’ve created, it’s the divine intervention of a father that loves his children and wants them to know him better.  

We have relied on so many things throughout the years to solve our problems in the mountains of eastern Kentucky: government, economics, and sometimes, even religion.  We believe that the complex circuit of solutions that are needed in our region begins in the hearts of the people of the mountains and can only be established through loving relationships with Jesus Christ. That’s why it’s on our heart to build the local church.   

God’s people have already been at work in the mountains for decades.  Some of our most influential institutions were founded on the foundations of faith: hospitals, universities, schools, clinics, and more.  We see God moving in communities across the region sparking new churches and inspiring new ventures with kingdom work at the core.   We’re humbled to serve by leading an effort to bring unity among His people; unity across geography, across denominations, and across the marketplace.  His people, united in living out our faith and call to tangibly show our neighbors and the people of the mountains that God loves them.  Our prayer has been and is, “God, bring your people Together for the Mountains to do what only you can do.”  We have a big dream of total transformation of one of the most economically and spiritually broken regions in America, but we know it’s inevitable that God can do immeasurably more than we can imagine.  Join us as we join God in His work across the mountains.
