A local paper recently shared this story a Fresh Expressions US Pioneer:
As the newest worshipping community of Boone United Methodist Church, KSC launched with church planting support from the Methodist Church, said BUMC pastor, Jason Byassee.
The idea for KSC emerged from a conversation between Edwards and Byassee, his pastor, in the spring of 2013.
Even before that conversation, Edwards said, he had been thinking about “what it would look like” to start a church service — for those that thought church wasn’t for them, he said.
“Pastor Jason asked me if I would be interested in starting a new worship service in downtown Boone,” he said. “At the time, I was the missions coordinator at Boone UMC and was already spending a great deal of my time serving those outside of the church.”
Edwards replied that he was interested, but he didn’t want it to look like other churches in Boone.
