THE CITY OF TRUTH CHURCH STORY

City of Truth (The City KC) was started by Pastors Armour and Jessica Stephenson. Pastor Armour lost his parents to a plane crash that completely changed the trajectory of their lives. After this great loss, he felt a s tirring to continue the work of his parentsand picked up the pastoral mantle. Both A rmour and Jessica started pastoring his parent’s church. The church started to grow from 85 people to 400+ people. The church was so packed that the fire department used to have to shut them down. As that began to happen consistently, they started to feel that they needed a new chapter since growth was pushing them to a new level.They knew that they wanted to be a blessing to the Kansas City, MO school district so they started to check out schools to become a portable church. Southeast High School became the new portable location for The City and this change required setting up and tearing down weekly. While hosting services at the high school, they set up mentorship programs, hosted award c eremonies for students, and brought lunch for the faculty and staff regularly so they could be a blessing to the staff, students, and families. This was a season of relationship building. They finally started to feel like they were in a groove with this community partner when the pandemic hit. Since the pandemic required schools to shut down, City of Truth was left without a building.They found a place to rent which allowed their church to continue to grow even during the pandemic. It was perfect timing for the season because they simply needed a consistent space to meet. As the pandemic began to subside, they then moved to have services at the Gem Theater, located in the jazz district of Kansas City. This move brought them back to doing set up and tear down weekly – sometimes even at midnight the night b efore church. All these moves have just been God positioning them in the right place at the right tim e as He works through them.City of Truth wants to be a place that is a home to the least, the lost, the left out, and the community. They want to be a place of love, joy, stability, and safety to those that God calls them to minister to.
