 Since its founding, the church has grown to an average weekend attendance of over 7,000 and has become one of the fastest growing churches in the United States, ranking 13th in a 2007 report.The church began by meeting in private homes until the numbers became too great, at which time it was able to rent space in a movie theater.In 1999, Church Development Fund stepped in to buy of land in Post Falls, through its Advanced Land Purchase program, in order for the church to build a facility to serve the 850 in weekly attendance at that time.
