“Truthfully, trying to convey what Midtown has been for me is not an easy task. There have been so many sweet moments here. There is an intentionality of every word of worship that glorifies God and causes me to recall His gentleness and sacrifice. The teachings dig deep into the character of the God we serve and the lessons found in Scripture. There is a desire for the congregation to know, intimately, who Jesus is and to follow in His way; rest in His peace. The people rejoice and weep together. We hug and laugh, share in the goodness and harshness of life. I could count on four hands how many people I have gotten to know and love from Midtown. I don’t mean a Sunday “good morning”, I mean friendship, community, life lived alongside one another. Every chance I get, I brag about this Jesus community. I am grateful for how gracious and generous they were to me when I first came and how quick they were to call me a friend. I am thankful for leadership that creates space to meet and know God in a personal way. My life has been enriched by being able to call Midtown home.”

“Our first introduction to Midtown was through Quandaries—a space to question and wonder together. Our friend from college was helping lead the discussion and invited us to grapple with hard topics together with the group. We came to the first meeting and then kept coming back. After a long journey, Midtown became our church home, and it has been like a breath of fresh air. We’ve been touched by the commitment to do things in a humble and transparent way. The integrity, love, and genuineness of the pastoral team and the church as a whole has created a rejuvenating and comforting place to call home.”

“I started coming to Midtown consistently a little over a year ago now. After moving back to KC, the transition period felt a bit rocky and every time I came to Midtown, it felt like a safe haven; a place I could breathe and bring my authentic self. There’s something to be said about a space that’s cultivated to embrace your story in kindness and warmth. The leadership team made it easy to feel welcomed and seen. I found it to be a safe place, a refuge of sorts. And since, it’s been a sweet place to immerse myself in more & be challenged and strengthened in my faith. Whether it be through  Sunday service, micro church, or community development, I’m left encountering a new side of Christ and an excitement to grow. This truly is a place where people love Jesus and His people extravagantly. Thankful for you, Midtown!”

“We are so incredibly grateful to Midtown. We moved to KC from New Mexico two years ago and knew almost no one. We were dealing with a lot of church hurt from our previous church in NM, and then we moved here and spent a year at a church plant just for it to close. We felt really lost and I could feel myself not want to try to meet new people and become apart of a community again. But we tried Midtown, and truly everything changed. I found other moms who were in the same post partum journey as me. My husband found kindred spirits he has made life long friendships with. It’s been a safe place for us while we heal and process through our church hurt, and we are so incredibly thankful for that.”

“I love this church!”

“I like our church.”
