WHY KENTUCKY?
A STRATEGIC LOCATION
Bowling Green is a strategic place to plant a church, with Western Kentucky University at its heart and a large, diverse student population that brings both energy and opportunity. The need for gospel-centered community is great and the potential for long-term impact is even greater. Our vision is to engage both the campus and the city with the hope of Christ, building a church that reaches students and residents alike.
A VIBRANT CAMPUS
Bowling Green is home to a thriving college community centered around Western Kentucky University, where over 16,000 students study and grow each year. WKU is known for its welcoming environment, strong academic programs, and rich campus life, drawing students from across the state, the region, and beyond. It’s a campus full of energy, potential, and opportunity — and we love rooting for the Hilltoppers. Go Tops!
A GROWING POPULATION
Bowling Green, Kentucky, is a thriving and fast-growing city with over 78,000 residents and a metro population exceeding 190,000. With a projected 5–7% growth over the next five years, the city continues to attract new families, students, and professionals. As the community expands, so does the need for more gospel-preaching churches to serve and reach the people of Bowling Green with the hope of Christ.
