Our Church Planting Movement

Kenmore

Est. 2016

Unlike many church plants, The Chapel in Kenmore was launched in a tougher area of Akron. Here, the church partners with a network of businesses like Just A Dad From Akron and Kenmore Neighborhood Alliance. Those in the community who have been hurt by the church are discovering a vibrant, revitalized faith again. The Chapel in Kenmore continues to be on mission to a unique neighborhood and continues to be a church that makes disciples who make disciples.

Cuyahoga Falls

Est. 2018

While the city of Cuyahoga Falls has a lot of churches, many don't believe the Bible or that Jesus is the only way. The church was planted as a Bible-believing, Bible-teaching church to combat false teaching and show the real message of the gospel. The Chapel in Cuyahoga Falls has grown into a family, taking care of other’s needs and walking beside each other. With 51% of the city claiming no religious affiliation, the church’s goal is to bring that number to zero, with the tagline “fifty-one to none.”

Nordonia

Est. 2020

While so few churches fully represent the community they serve, The Chapel in Nordonia is on a mission to become a multi-ethnic, multi-generational, gospel-centered church. Serving a city that got its name from Acts 16:10, the church has adopted the verse as a calling to do the same – preach the gospel to them. Despite a delayed launch, thanks to the pandemic, the people of The Chapel in Nordonia remain committed to serving and sharing the hope of Jesus.

Medina

Est. 2021

After a survey of surrounding towns, we found that the number of people in Medina involved in church, and believing God satisfies, was less than 5%. In response to a glaring need to reach people through the gospel, The Chapel in Medina was planted. Through steps of faith, God has shown His faithfulness with various meeting locations and a team ready to serve the church’s mission. Now, the people of Medina have a home where they can worship God, be discipled and continue to share their hope with the city.

Camp Carl

Saturate funds have enabled Camp Carl to create a new treehouse, new cabins, a ninja obstacle course, enhanced programming, and so much more for campers! As the facilities continue to grow, our camp staff has more tools to relentlessly pursue a generation desperate for the hope that can only be found in Jesus.

Mozambique

In the last few years, the ministry in Mozambique established two church buildings in the villages of Macalawane and Mukhotwene. We have also partnered to supply resources for a youth multi-purpose building next to the Macalawane Church and training for church leaders.

Cambodia

Thanks to the Saturate Campaign, three young men from our orphan home partners Asia's Hope can follow God’s calling to go to Bible school and connect with local church ministries to spread the gospel and make disciples.

India

Saturate has enabled the outreach in India to build two gathering spaces and to provide ministry resources for large outreach events.

Yucatan, Mexico

Saturate has helped the church in Yucatan build a palapa (small hut), a covered activity center next to the church, a well, and other needed resources for the church in the village of San Marcos. We have also purchased a property in Chikindzonot for the building of a church, a large sports complex, and other resources for outreach to Yucatan village communities.

Vietnam

The Saturate Campaign helped fund the building of multiple home ministry structures and equipped leaders to do the work of discipleship. Over the last seven years, we have helped establish 12 home ministries that have matured to seven congregations and one official congregation.

Dan and Tiffany

"One day, Tiffany and I had been fighting a lot. Having been addicted to all sorts of drugs and spending time in jail, I was feeling hopeless. I remember driving around and crying out to God, needing to know if I’m forgiven. I called Pastor Ben, who said yes, absolutely. It was hard for me to believe, considering all the damage that I've done. Once it sank in that Jesus is real and truly forgives me, I rushed to share it with Tiffany. That night, through tears, she sat across the table and forgave me for everything. Jesus took all the weight off my shoulders and gave our marriage a fresh start. Even through all the depression, anxiety and hopelessness, I was never too far from God’s love for me."

Carmen

"During my youth, I was struggling with who I was and even from a young age had same sex attraction. As I grew older and acted on my feelings, I searched for my identity and purpose in tarot cards, incense, anything that would explain who I was. In the stillness of the pandemic shutdown, a friend shared a video about Scripture speaking to homosexuality. It was there that my search ended and my life truly began. I’m blown away that as a sinner, I still had a chance at freedom from all of that. Through the discipleship of members of the Nordonia Campus, Pastor Chase, my brother, family and the support of others, I came to be baptized this past July, a year and a day after I gave my life to the Lord."

The Barnes Family

"We attended church before, but it felt more like a chore. After some struggles, we were all searching for something better. Once we started attending the Medina Campus, we noticed all five of us left each week with something that had a positive impact on us. It has truly been a blessing from God to find this church with great people surrounding us. We’d later decide to be baptized as a family and were welcomed into the church with open arms. All five of us look forward to coming to church every Sunday. We have found a home."

Sydney

"When me and my siblings were all living with my mom and stepdad, there wasn’t a lot of food for us to eat. Because of the neglect, we were removed from our mother’s home. I went to church once with my first foster placement, but just didn't care. When I was at my second foster placement, my current family, we went to church regularly. After talking to a mentor about the bridge analogy, I told her I’d like to walk across and accepted Christ that day. I started to listen on Sundays and was encouraged by other stories at school similar to mine. Through God’s grace and forgiveness, I know He has always been there for me."

Rick Kostlinic

"In retirement it's easy to think that your career is over, you're done and you're just going to fade away, but getting plugged into your church gives you many opportunities to grow in your faith."
