Pathways began on Super Bowl Sunday, 1993 with a group of forty friends who had a vision. They were eager to start a family style church where people would feel relaxed and comfortable, even if they had never been to church before. Everything would be simple and relevant…relevant Bible messages, upbeat music, informal dress, and streamlined organization. At the same time it would be a place where people could experience a living, personal, life changing God.

During the first 11 years of existence, Pathways was a vagabond church wandering from place to place and longing for a place to call home. At that point church members began to pray and believe that God would lead us to a permanent facility.

In 2002, after a unanimous vote of approval from the City Council, the task of transforming the old Picano’s Grocery Store into a place for worship, evangelism, discipleship, fellowship, and ministry began. The first services were held in our current facility in December 2003.
