“The children’s staff and volunteers do a great job loving and caring for my kids. They are intentional about connecting with my kids individually to help them learn about God.”

“It can be difficult to find your 'fit' in the Church as a single person. My small group gave me somewhere to belong and people to experience life with."

“College Heights met me when I was 17. Not only did they meet me in my brokenness, but they equipped me for future ministry and helped me grow into the man I believe God has created me to be.”

“I love getting to learn about God’s truth weekly and grow in my relationship with Him along with my friends. Every week is fun, and everyone—students and leaders—make it such a fun and inviting environment.”

“We have been incredibly blessed by the way College Heights has loved us and our kids, and helped us grow in our faith.”

"In 2004, I became a widow. That title was the hardest I’ve ever learned to embrace, but honestly, MY family at College Heights cared and loved me well when I needed it most. Now over 17 years later, through church family God's faithfulness stands firm every day."

“The church has been invaluable to us during our family’s transition to the area and parenting a special needs son. We came broken and they immediately stepped in to meet our family’s needs by providing us support and healing. We have felt seen, heard, and that we are not walking alone in our difficult journey.”

“I’m truly blessed by College Heights taking me in and blessing me with a church family that wants to grow deeper in their relationship with Jesus.”

"Few things in my life have been worth as much as actually watching kids love Jesus more. I'm thankful to serve as a volunteer in CHKIDS!"

"College Heights is more than a church to us. It is our family, our community, our home. Our church family has walked beside us during this particularly hard season; they have showered us with prayer, love, cards, phone calls. Everything a happy family does to support their loved ones. Community starts at the open doors of College Heights, where no one walks alone."

"Serving with the youth team allows me to see the next leaders of the church learn how they can be on mission with Jesus. I feel like I gain wisdom along side them as they grow to look more like Jesus."

“When I moved to Joplin for college, I was a terrified freshman who was desperate for community. College Heights graciously ushered me into the most amazing community that is the College Age ministry. As I near graduation, I cannot thank God enough for this church and the people who have never stopped supporting me in my education and in life.”
