Our Story

Our story is just beginning. As a new church we have a vision to be a community of people who serve God as we live in faith, hope, love, and devotion for Jesus Christ. The vision of Swift Run is to Increase Faith, Bring Hope, Live in Love, with Devotion to God and Each Other. We value authentic community, missional partnerships, and opportunities that contribute to personal health and fitness. Everyone is on a journey, running through this life. We're eager to meet you and Run alongside you in this Race toward knowing God more personally. Let's Run the Race together.
Swift Run has been uniquely positioned to engage and envision opportunities to have a global impact, We have a unique geographic position to offer our location to pursue fitness and missional purposes. Our missional fitness activities include a fitness center, exercise classes, cycling group rides, and hosting the annual World Vision 6k for Water. Several of our church cyclists have participated on multi-day tours with Ends of the Earth Cycling. We invite you to participate in our missional fitness approach to life and ministry. May we run this race with perseverance ​for Jesus.
