Making Heaven Full –Elevating Fort Wayne Through Action

Pastor Kyle Mills of Elevate City Church in Fort Wayne, Indiana joins Philip Cameron to share the remarkable story of planting a thriving church in the most violent and impoverished neighborhood in the state. Rather than following the suburban exodus common among growing congregations, Kyle felt a clear call from God to move into the heart of the city — and launched out in faith during the turbulence of 2020, despite critics who predicted the church would close within a year. Kyle draws on Ecclesiastes to explain the leap: "If you wait for perfect conditions, you'll never get anything done." That conviction has fueled a ministry now serving five rehabilitation facilities, running bus ministry for women, men, and children, and welcoming worshippers — some with ankle monitors — into a community of genuine restoration. Kyle also unpacks Revelation 12 and the urgency it creates: Satan's time is short, but so is the Church's window to share the gospel. The conversation is a clarion call for pastors and believers to move beyond the four walls, stop being spiritual consumers, and become spiritual contributors.
