Emerge Worship Center

Emerge Worship Center started as a college and youth ministry in July of 2004 in the fellowship hall of Jesus Way of Life Church on E.Main st. When God gave us the vision to begin the college and youth ministry, it was definitely a step of faith. We simply walked into the building that God had provided for us, with this huge vision that was going to take; people, wisdom, and finances and of course we only had three people, with minimal experience, and no funds. But the cool thing about God is, He doesn’t call the qualified, He qualifies the called. We decided to start meeting on Wednesday nights at 8:00pm. To say the least God started showing up in our meetings. We grew from about 10 to around 100 sometimes more. There were times we could not seat everyone and people would sit on the floor, counter tops. Not only was God showing up in quantity, He was also showing up in quality. In a period of three months we had witnessed 56 salvations, and countless rededications. GOD IS SO AMAZING! So from that point on God just started pouring into our ministry and expanding our coasts and boundaries. God was showing up in such a relevant way, that at times we were having just as may adults as we were youth. After about 8 months God was calling us to step out in faith and start a full self supportive, non-denominational church where people could come just as they were, and not feel judged or looked down upon, and develop a passionate relationship with Christ. God just opened door after door for us. We were able to meet in the Gym of Hollaway High School for two months, free of charge, while we searched for a building to meet in. When we walked through the doors of the building in Memorial Village, we all stopped at the doors to pray about the space. God revealed himself in that prayer and confirmed in all of our hearts that this was the place He wanted us. After tons of remolding that we did not have the experience to do, and a bunch of money we did not have to spend, God had revealed Himself yet again.Now God has lead us, full circle back the Jesus Way of Life building. Emerge Worship Center is now at 2022 East Main Street. (next to Camino Real, across from CircleK)
