Why Youngstown?

We are asked this question often.  Our family has lived our whole life in various states of the Midwest, so Ohio is a natural fit.  We have an ever increasing love for diversity of people especially of this region.  Not to mention the needs and opportunities that both a university and a city bring in the form of people, education, arts, sports, etc. Finally, we believe that it is God desires for there to be more healthy, gospel-centered churches in the Youngstown area.  Since May 2008, we have adopted Youngstown/Boardman as our new home and love living in this community!
