THE CHURCH UNLEASHED STORY
Church Unleashed is a thriving, multi-campus church with one clear mission: to inspire hope, unleash potential, and change lives. Founded in 2008 by Pastors Todd and Mary Bishop, what began as a small group of dreamers has grown into a powerful movement that is reshaping the spiritual landscape of Long Island—with thriving campuses in Commack and Hicksville, New York. From its earliest days, Church Unleashed has carried a bold, contagious belief that church should be alive, relevant, and life-changing. Each weekend, both campuses come alive with passionate worship, creative storytelling, and practical, faith-filled teaching that connects with real life. The message is simple but transformative: God’s love is real, His grace is limitless, and every person has been created on purpose and for purpose.
In 2008, Pastors Todd and Mary stepped out in faith to plant a church that would reach people who felt far from God and disconnected from religion. Their desire was to create a space that felt more like a family than a formality—a place filled with energy, creativity, and authenticity. From rented school auditoriums to permanent campuses, God has honored that faith every step of the way, growing Church Unleashed into a community that now impacts thousands across Long Island.
Today, Church Unleashed continues its mission through two dynamic campuses—Commack and Hicksville—each uniquely designed to meet the needs of its local community while sharing one unified culture and heartbeat. Whether you attend in person at either location or join online, you’ll experience the same spirit of excellence, passion, and purpose that defines who we are. Both campuses are united by one vision: to see people encounter God, discover their purpose, and live “unleashed” in every area of life. Through life-giving ministries, Unleashed Groups, powerful worship experiences, and a culture of generosity, Church Unleashed continues to lead with innovation and impact.
Church Unleashed is known for its energetic atmosphere, diverse congregation, and bold approach to faith. It’s a place where people are encouraged to be real, take risks, and live out their faith with confidence. Every message, every song, and every act of service is fueled by the belief that the local church is the hope of the world. Whether you’re walking through the doors for the first time or serving on a team, you’ll quickly realize that Church Unleashed isn’t just a church you attend—it’s a family you belong to.
The story of Church Unleashed is still being written. With more campuses and outreach initiatives on the horizon, the vision continues to expand—not just to fill buildings, but to transform communities across Long Island and beyond. At Church Unleashed, we believe the best is yet to come. Because when the church is unleashed—anything is possible.
