In April of 2021, God began to call Kyle and Katie Vaillancourt to move from Bradenton to the North Port area and begin a church plant. After many months of “confirming” the Lord’s will, in May of 2022 they handed off their current church plant and moved to the area with little idea of the amazing things that the Lord was planning.
Before starting the work, God led them to visit the Rock Calvary Chapel. It was here that Katie and Kyle met Pastor Aaron Smith. Little did they know that the Rock was one of 52 church plants stemming from a major church planting revival out of Calvary Rosarito in Mexico. It was here that Pastor Aaron invited Kyle and Katie to train as church planters in their School of Ministry, and eventually for Kyle to join the pastoral staff.
The time of serving at the Rock is when God made His will clear to Kyle. The Lord’s desire is to establish a place in North Port where His Word would be faithfully taught and many could come to receive hope. It will be a place where people can find family in the community. It will be a place where others will be trained and sent to plant other churches. God was calling them to spend their life transforming North Port for Jesus.
