The Stirring
We love. We make disciples.
OUR STORY
In January 2007, we sensed God’s call to start a new church in Redding, CA. Our hearts burned to gather, champion, and form the next generation. Sent out from Risen King Church where we served for five years leading worship and overseeing young adults, we took the risk to plant the Stirring. Our vision was best captured in these five simple words: We love. We make disciples. We love people where they are. We disciple people into who they are. Just a handful of friends, we dreamed of a family of Jesus followers who would engage our city and the world with the message and life of Jesus Christ, in the most creative ways possible. We’ve heard it said, “if you want to build something significant for the kingdom, build a family.”
