In 1984, Bishop Larry O. Jones was commissioned to begin a church in North St. Louis County.

From the humble beginnings of renting time and space at Epworth Windsor United Methodist Church (now known as Northside UMC), Bishop Jones remained committed to the growth of this new ministry.

Methodism gave the church the class meeting, the circuit rider, and the Sunday school, and gave America the conviction that grace is genuinely for everyone — carried into prisons, mines, and mill towns by preachers who owned almost nothing. Charles Wesley's hymns are still sung in nearly every tradition, most of them by people who have no idea whose they are.
