From our Pastors
2022 was a landmark year for Cultivate Church. People found brand new life in Jesus and began living life on purpose. We were able to help spread the gospel around the world, plant new churches, serve our community, and make a difference in the lives of others.
Thank you for loving Jesus, His church, and His people. Because of you, eternity has gotten bigger. As you read through this simple report, let it be a reminder of God's goodness and faithfulness.
Life on Purpose,

Our Vision
We see a place where Jesus is bigger than anything else.
“We are very intentional about everything we do. We are dedicated to accomplishing the vision God has given us.”

It is our vision to be a place where:
The church isn’t about our street corner or our logo. We believe in the work that Christ is doing in every church. It is our vision to not only build the church that God has called us to, but to be a resource and benefit to others as well.
- The unknowing become fully devoted followers of Christ.
- People are equipped for purpose.
- Life giving churches are planted.
- Churches connect for resource and relationship.

Our Mission
This is our commitment to carry out the vision.
It is our mission to cultivate:
- A passion for God.
- A passion for people.
- A passion for purpose.
“What would happen if church was a place where the main thing was the main thing? Jesus and life change is our priority.”
Brandon Matthews, Lead Team Pastor

We believe when you fall in love with God you fall in love with His people. When those two things come together you become hungry for your purpose in order to make a difference in the lives of others. This is the process of a life on purpose.

welcome to the team
Cultivate Church is not ours, it belongs to God. We are only the stewards of it. As it continues to grow we want to be faithful with what God has given and it was time for our full-time staff to grow so that we could better care for what God has given. We are excited to welcome these new additions to the team in 2022.
