THE BECOMING CHURCH STORY
The Becoming Church was birthed in the heart of a global crisis — the 2020 pandemic — and stands today as a testament to God’s faithfulness, authentic community, and the beauty of diversity. In a time marked by uncertainty, division, and fear, Pastors Michael and Katie felt a clear and courageous call from God. In June of that year, they set out on their “Abraham journey,” leaving behind what was familiar to relocate to Huntsville, Alabama, without full clarity on what lay ahead. Through prayer, fasting, and the wise counsel of mentors, their calling became unmistakable: to plant a vibrant, life-giving church that would bring hope and healing to the city.
The earliest seeds of The Becoming Church were planted around a simple kitchen table in December 2020. By March 2021, Michael and Katie were building relationships across Huntsville, forming what would become the church’s launch team. Those early days were marked by personal connection, faith-filled conversations, and word-of-mouth invitations that reflected the very heart of the church’s mission — uniting people to purpose.
On February 27, 2022, The Becoming Church officially launched with a passionate team of forty-five people who gathered in hotel ballrooms and community spaces to create a place where people could encounter God and find family. What began as a step of faith has grown into a thriving, multi-generational church impacting Huntsville, Madison, and beyond. In just over three years, The Becoming Church has seen record-breaking salvations, baptisms, and attendance — each number representing a story of transformation. People are discovering community through B Groups, stepping into leadership, and learning to live out their God-given purpose. The church has become a home where faith is strengthened, families are restored, and lives are forever changed by the power of the Gospel.
Today, The Becoming Church continues to grow in influence and impact, with an expanding staff, a flourishing Dream Team, and partnerships that stretch across the nation and around the world. From investing in church plants and global missions to serving schools and neighborhoods throughout Huntsville, the church’s reach is steadily multiplying. While growth brings challenges, the people of The Becoming Church see them as opportunities — moments to stretch faith, deepen dependence on God, and step boldly into the limitless future He has prepared. They believe the best is yet to come, that God is not finished, and that the story of The Becoming Church is still being written — one life, one family, one story at a time. Because at The Becoming Church, it’s not about perfection — it’s about progression. It’s about who we are becoming.
