Meet Pathway Church
Pathway Church, a multi-campus ministry, first opened its doors on Easter Sunday in 1975, as 39 people gathered for worship in the local fire hall. Since that first service, Pathway Church has experienced great blessing and growth. Today, 1,200 people gather for worship each weekend. The church has seen several expansions, most recently a 22,000 sq. ft. children’s wing featuring a colorful kid-friendly design, two-story playland and more. Though much has changed through the years, the mission of the church remains the same, “To be and make disciples of Jesus Christ.” This mission is evident today through energetic weekend worship experiences, vibrant ministries to engage the youngest child through the oldest adult and meeting people in their life circumstance through care ministries, recovery programs and more. Pathway Church also has a history of pouring into local and global outreach under the vision of expanding the reach of the gospel.
