Our Story

Every story God writes begins with a calling.

For us, that calling began in a wilderness.

The number 40 appears throughout Scripture in seasons of testing, preparation, waiting, and transformation. Moses spent 40 years in the wilderness. The Israelites wandered for 40 years before entering the Promised Land. Jesus spent 40 days in the wilderness before beginning His public ministry. Again and again, Scripture shows us that the wilderness is not the end of the story—it is often where God prepares His people for what comes next.

Forty is the wilderness.
Forty-one is what God does next.

Our journey toward planting 40/41 Church has been shaped by that truth. There have been seasons of waiting, uncertainty, stretching, growth, and learning to trust God when the path ahead was not always clear. But through every season, God continued to remind us that He is faithful—and that obedience to His calling is always worth the journey.

We believe the church was never meant to simply be a place where people gather. The church is a people called to live for the glory of God, to proclaim His truth, to make disciples, to love people well, and to carry the Gospel into the world.

That is why 40/41 Church was born.

We are planting this church because we believe God's Word is still true, still powerful, and still worthy of being the foundation of our lives. We want to build a church that does not compromise the truth of Scripture, but faithfully honors God's Word and points people toward Jesus.

We are planting a church where people can encounter the presence of God, discover the hope of the Gospel, grow in their relationship with Christ, and become equipped to live out their faith beyond the walls of the church.

We believe God is calling people out of their wilderness.

Some wilderness seasons last 40 days. Others last 40 years. Some are visible to everyone around us, while others are battles fought quietly in the heart. But regardless of how we arrived there, God does not intend for us to remain in the desert.

There is a next chapter.

There is a promise beyond the waiting.

There is purpose beyond the testing.

There is life beyond the wilderness.

There is a 41.

Our prayer is that 40/41 Church would be a place where people discover that their wilderness is not wasted. That God can use the waiting to prepare us, the testing to strengthen us, and the journey to transform us.

Most importantly, our desire is not simply to build a church—it is to build God's Kingdom.

We want to see families restored, lives transformed, disciples made, leaders equipped, and communities changed through the power of the Gospel. We want everything we do to point back to Jesus and bring glory to His name.

This is our story.

It is a story of wilderness and promise, of faith and obedience, of waiting and stepping forward.

And we believe it is only the beginning.

Welcome to 40/41 Church.
