Earlier this year, our first church plant celebrated its first anniversary! While this church plant shares our name, NewSpring Kenya is not a NewSpring campus. Instead, it is a church leaning on the biblical truth that God is doing a new thing in Kenya. In the first year, NewSpring Kenya has: 

• Gathered weekly for prayer, worship, and teaching
• Seen God open incredible doors in the community
• Formed a biblical leadership team of six elders
• Built a sanctuary and offices

In the year ahead, they aim to add midweek services to reach even more people with the gospel, expand their discipleship programs, and minister to at least 300 children every week.

In 2017, Josh and Tayla Bull moved from Australia to be part of serving the next generation here at NewSpring Church. This year, they headed home to reach people in Australia with the gospel, where less than 10% of people attend church. Society Church will officially launch in 2025.

The Bulls believe God wants to do a mighty work in Melbourne! We’re prayerful and expectant to see God move through Society Church. By giving to Vision 2030, you are playing a part in advancing the kingdom in Australia.

Chris and Kathleen Dew have been a part of NewSpring Church for years, and God has worked powerfully during their time here. Chris’s story of recovery and healing already impacts countless lives as he shares the gospel in churches around the country. In 2025, the Dews will launch Artisan City Church in St. Petersburg, Florida. 

St. Pete is a hub of creativity, art, and culture – but more than 80% of its residents are unchurched or de-churched. Chris and Kathleen can’t wait to see people meet Jesus, see addicts set free, and see culture renewed! We believe God will do incredible things in Florida through Artisan City Church, and your generosity makes it possible.

Lance and Mallory Irwin are moving from NewSpring Columbia to Pearland, Texas to launch Citizen Church. If every church in Pearland held three weekend services, only 40% of the current population would fit in the doors — and the area continues to grow rapidly. The Irwins feel called to build a community of believers who live out their heavenly identity in the heart of Texas.   

Citizen Church will launch in 2025, and when you give to Vision 2030, you support the Irwins as they follow the Lord to a new place to spread the gospel and make disciples. We can’t wait to see how God moves in Texas in the years ahead!
