Our Story

Starting in 2006 with a handful of people in a local coffee shop (as any great Pacific Northwestern story begins) and a dream about what church could look like, Resonate quickly outgrew its humble origins. Officially launching as a church on August 19th, 2007, Resonate drew people in under the vision of being a body of Christ that connects the Gospel to people, people to community, and community to mission. From that first gathering at Schweitzer Event Center, where the demographic ranged everywhere from community members to students from University of Idaho, the Lord was laying the groundwork for the vision and legacy of becoming an urgent, multiplying, collegiate church planting movement. Over the last 14 years Resonate Pullman has had the privilege of sending out seven first generation church plants, and are eagerly looking ahead to our first fourth generation church plant. This has been accomplished by the passion to see disciples being made on campuses across the Northwest.

Currently we have two Pullman services, one on campus and one multi-generational city gathering. Looking back to the beginning to see where Resonate is now, and the future of Resonate, we cannot help but be humbled by the size and sovereignty of our God. Something we like to repeat often as a church in awe is the phrase “Only God.” Only God could have taken five people meeting at a coffee shop with the seemingly impossible dream of meeting 1,000 students to a network of churches spread out across the Northwest at 13 universities 13 years later. We are incredibly humbled that the Lord has chosen to use us in His mission and we are passionately and joyfully committed to taking His gospel to all the world. We firmly believe that we are called to be a sent and sending people, and are excited to see how God will continue to move in ways we could never imagine.
