Pursuit Next 101

History

In November of 2014 God began to speak to Cheryl and Matt about planting Pursuit City Church.  By July of 2015 God opened the doors to begin that process and Cheryl and Matt moved from San Antonio, Tx to their new city, Corpus Christi.  In March of 2016 the first interest meeting was held and over the next several months the planning stages of the church was born.  On September 18th 2016, the first Worship Service ever for Pursuit City was held at Faye Webb Elementary School.  With just a few in attendance the vision was birthed and the future was placed in God’s hands.  The journey however is still young and fresh, this gives people the opportunity to jump in to something that is organic and challenging.  We hope you join the journey with us!
