How it all started...
The Reach United (TRU) was birthed in the summer of 2020. In the midst of the pandemic (lockdowns, restrictions, etc.), our Pastor was in prayer one day and couldn’t stop thinking of all the people all across the country who were hurting, protesting, and looking for an answer to many of the issues our nation was facing. He knew that we had to take the Gospel to our community in a loud way. God made us for community, and because of the restrictions in place, many people had no community or hope.
Expanding the vision...
So after a ton of prayer and some planning, we held our first TRU gathering on August 16th, 2020. The response was amazing! We saw the Holy Spirit reignite Hope into many people’s lives. After the first week, we knew that God had more ahead so we continued to go to the Parkersburg City Park and released freedom and hope over this region. It wasn’t long before we realized God had given us something special.
Where we are headed...
What has happened since that time has been a special move of God that has seen many salvations, transformations, restoration, and a special family being brought together. We've already outgrown our first building and, as always, God led us to our amazing new location right in the heart of the roughest neighborhood in our city. It is the perfect place for us to take the fight to the enemy as we do our part in building the Kingdom of God here on earth.
I don’t think any of us knew what to expect at the beginning of this journey but I think we can all see that we are onto an assignment that is God-given and we are really excited to see what the future holds for us as a team and family.
