"The Call of God is not about you, but about what God wants to do through you."

In 1995, less than fifty people of Riverdale United Methodist Church in Dayton, Ohio faced a decision- their membership was declining and aging, and they were no longer effective in serving their inner city neighborhood as they had throughout their 100-year history. They chose to re-invest and start over. Giving up their building, their endowment, even their style and traditions of worship, they took a courageous step of faith and started Stillwater Church.

Twelve years later, over 750 worship weekly, the building has been expanded three times, and a second location has been planted in the community: Stillwater at the YMCA in partnership with the Kleptz YMCA in Englewood, Ohio.
