What became City Church Melissa started in a living room in early 2012 with a small group of Christ-followers gathering regularly for fellowship, a meal, and the study of God’s word. As this group began to grow in size and our hearts were broken for the city, God began to give a vision for a new church in Melissa. A desire and vision was placed in our hearts to be a Gospel-centered church “For The City.”
In 2013 this small group began to share the vision for City Church Melissa. God faithfully provided the needed resources and in March 2014 City Church Melissa launched in the gym of what was then Melissa Middle School to accomplish Christ’s work in Melissa, as described by Paul in Ephesians 2:14-22.
As we look back on those first days, we're reminded through so many individual stories of how indescribably faithful the Lord has been to build His church in Melissa.
