Project 20 Network

In the middle of March, we will celebrate one year working with Jason Vonbehren to plant our very first Christ-centered community: West City Church in Greenville. Through prayer, hard work and persistence, West City Church has moved through interest gatherings, core team development, administrative preparation, and pre-launch configuration enroute to their public launch at Easter. As they near this incredible milestone, Jason has shared this video to provide a state of the work to update and encourage their friends at ALIVE and beyond. What an incredible start to the life of this new church plant!

Our strategic partnership with Mount Moriah Church in Candler, NC, is a cooperative effort led by ALIVE to breathe life into a church that has been without a pastor for a year and a half. Pastor Tom literally pastored this church over 20 years ago and they reached out for help when they heard about PROJECT 20. In May of 2022, we began to live-stream our messages and coach their LBA. In their search for a pastor, ALIVE is using it’s influence to help locate their next leader, in cooperation with our neighboring NC West District. Our strategic partnership is continuing to make a difference in this community just west of Asheville, NC.

Pastor Connor Guerzini is leading the P20 charge at Upstate Community Church—our church plant in Spartanburg (technically located in Boiling Springs). Connor joined the ALIVE team in September and has been engaged in the renovation of the former Spartanburg First Wesleyan building. Multiple work days and multiple churches have participated in this process as we first prepare the building, then begin to build the Upstate Community church. Please pray for Connor and all our tasks related to getting this building ready. In the Spring 2023, we begin to set our focus on the people of the Spartanburg/Boiling Springs communities.
