The Story of Starting Line Church
In 2019, Pastors Allison & Zach were on staff at a church in Michigan and while there, they felt God calling them to begin a new chapter of ministry - church planting! While planting a church was always something on their hearts, they never knew if that dream would become a reality. But after a lot of prayer, conversation, and encouragement from their current church and denomination, it was abundantly clear that God was calling them to Cleveland to start a new church.
Over the years, Starting Line Church has seen God do immeasurably more than anything we could’ve imagined. What started as a gathering of a couple people in the Miller’s home in 2021 turned into where we are today - lives being made new because of Jesus. We are in hopeful anticipation of what God will do next!
Our mission
Embracing more to life with Jesus
Embrace Faith
We believe all people were created to know and love Jesus. When we discover who He is and put our faith in Christ, we experience life to the fullest.
Embrace Relationships
We believe all people were created to do life together in relationship with others. When we pursue authentic community, we experience friendship as it was designed to be.
Embrace Purpose
We believe all people were created for a purpose. When we love unconditionally, serve selflessly, and lead people to Jesus, we experience God’s greater purpose for us in this world.
