Light City Bible church continues to be an incredible display of the providential provision of God. It began in the hearts and minds of two men who did not yet know each other. In 2018, Keith Allen was exploring his desire to be sent out from EastPointe Bible Church in Peru, IN. Meanwhile, after successfully helping launch The Grove Church in Tampa, Florida, the Lord led Kevin Trotter to move his family to Wabash to plant another church.

 

As Kevin was working in the community and building a team of interested individuals, his elders at Redemption Bible Church in Fort Wayne affirmed his vision. By 2021, Keith had begun planning and gathered a small group that met weekly in downtown Wabash for prayer. The Lord providentially appointed Keith and Kevin to meet on June 21, 2021. After a lengthy initial discussion of doctrine, ministry philosophy, and more prayer, they became convinced that the Lord was leading them to partner in church planting.

 

Eventually, with the support of Redemption, EastPointe, Waynedale Baptist in Fort Wayne, and many other supporters, Light City launched on April 17, 2022 at the Wabash County YMCA . Soon afterward, we moved to the fellowship hall of Christ United Methodist church, our current location. The Lord continues to provide, and we would love an opportunity to share even more of His providential appointments with you in person!
