Velocity Church started back in 2009 with the goal of starting a Restoration Movement congregation on Cleveland’s east side. In addition to having Sunday services, Bible studies, and small groups, Velocity is committed to being a huge part of the city. We run leadership development for two of our local school systems, host city wide events for children, and do our best to be a part of the fabric in Cleveland. God has blessed our congregation so much that there have been 407 baptisms since we began.
While Velocity has been extremely blessed, we have gone through a very difficult time over the past few years. We had to shut down one of our campuses completely because of Covid 19. Then in October, we had a 37 year old staff member who passed away from a heart attack. The grief of her loss has been a difficult season for everyone at Velocity.
Prayer Requests
- Please pray that God will continue to send lost and broken people to be a part of the congregation here at Velocity. Right now, a large part of our church are men and women who have battled some form of addiction. We feel very thankful that the Lord finds us faithful to send people who are struggling to be a part of this ministry.
- Please pray that our ministry opportunities in the school system and city continue to increase. We have been very blessed to be able to run programs for at-risk young people during school hours. Right now, we work with over 60 students who have amazing leadership potential but come from challenging backgrounds.
- Please pray for our volunteers. Over half of the people who come to Velocity serve in some capacity. They volunteer in Kidz City, worship teams, small group leaders, ministry leaders, etc. Please pray that God fills their heart with joy and that He uses them to help all people follow after Jesus with all of their heart.
