Our Story
In August 2005 three families got together for a backyard barbecue.
These families, the Cashes, Hamricks and Kriegers, would become
the launch team of Project X. God had begun at least as early as
2003 giving individuals in the launch team a vision for a new church
in Bloomington. It would be a truly NEW church, dedicated to discov-
ering and developing authentically post-modern paradigms of church
to fit post-modern people.
Informal discussions and sharing of thoughts and feelings began hap-
pening in 2004. From August to November 2005 the launch team met
together to pray and worship together and to try to discern whether God
was calling us to plant a church. By Thanksgiving we were convinced.
By early February we had our ministry prospectus which outlined our
plan in detail, and we had our first funding and endorsement from the
American Baptist Churches of Indiana and Kentucky.
Throughout the spring of 2006 we raised funds and built a core group
of people who would help us take the next steps on the journey to
planting a church. In the summer we started our first cell groups and
began outreach events, and we launched our public worship celebration
on September 9, 2006.
Ours is a story of people who have a desire to follow God on the edge
of faith. We have a vision to share Jesus with the world in ways that are relevant to our culture.
