The beginning of a church on Canoe Creek Road began in the minds of a few people many years ago, actually as early as the 1950s. Through the years there were casual conversations about the time when a church would be needed on the Canoe Creek Road corridor. Later in the 1980s, the Canoe Creek corridor was presented as a possible location for a new church. The population growth at the time, however, was focused in the Buena Ventura Area, so a church was established for the northeast segment of Osceola county. That church later moved to Partin Settlement Road, on the north side of Hwy. 192.

In the early 1990s a House Church was established at the home of Jimmy and Leslie Chapman as a part of the ministry of First Christian, Kissimmee. The response was overwhelming; a huge success to say the least. The discussion about starting a church on the Canoe Creek corridor once again became a popular topic. More people were moving in, but the time was still not right. The success of the house church sparked many discussions in the bleachers among the parents of young people playing sports. The folks called it "bleacher evangelism" because they used the opportunity to tell those around them about Christ. The discussion also included the need for a church in the area.
