HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA 

As one of the fastest growing cities in the Southeastern USA, Huntsville can aptly be described as unexpected. Huntsville seamlessly marries the rich history of southern hospitality with innovative high-tech ventures and cultural diversity. In fact, more than 100 languages and dialects are spoken in the city. A sense of curiosity and exploration has been rooted in the city’s foundation. In fact, the first American satellite was sent into orbit from the city in 1958. One of the “Fathers of Rocket Science,” Wernher von Braun, lived and worked in Huntsville during the 1950s and 1960s, launching the space and rocket industry still associated with the city today. Experience that same sense of awe-inspiring curiosity today as you explore icons like the U.S. Space and Rocket Center or head off the beaten path into Huntsville’s vibrant neighborhoods and historic districts.

About The Becoming Church

The Becoming Church stands as a testament to authentic community and diversity. We're dedicated to playing the long game, and we're unwavering in our belief that our best days lie ahead.

In the heart of the 2020 pandemic, amidst rising racial and political tensions, Michael and Katie felt a divine calling. In June, they courageously embarked on their “Abraham” journey, relocating to Huntsville, AL without full clarity on God's purpose for them. However, with steadfast prayer, fasting, and guidance from their mentors, it became evident: They were destined to establish a vibrant, life-giving church in the city. The seeds of The Becoming Church were sown at a simple kitchen table in December 2020. By March 2021, Michael and Katie began weaving connections across Huntsville, cultivating what would become the church's foundational launch team. These formative days were powered by genuine one-on-one connections and enthusiastic word-of-mouth recommendations.

As the calendar marked February 27, 2022, the Launch Sunday, the growing team of forty-five passionate individuals collaborated in local hotel ballrooms, community clubhouses, and various venues, eagerly preparing for the church's inauguration.
