City Alive Church

In April 2021, City Alive Church launched at a YMCA, by the following winter, they discovered a 12,000 sq. ft. church building situated on 18 acres of land. The congregation saw the potential of the building to reach Youngstown Ohio and acquired the property. However, to realize the goal of growing the congregation, the sanctuary needed to be renovated to maximize the space.

The GSV Fund grant played a significant role in the fundraising efforts for the renovated sanctuary by inspiring more generosity within their congregation. Completion of the sanctuary is slated for mid-2025.

“…In an isolated and individualistic world, we believe in the church. Jesus has not only called us to himself but also to each other. We gather in authentic, redemptive, and transformational communities.”
