Our Story

What began as a small, Tuesday night home group, God breathed upon and became a true revival outbreak of the Holy Spirit!

The Loft's primary heartbeat is the Presence of God. As the song beckons, "I don't wanna talk about You, like You're not in the room," we believe the kingdom of God is always near. So, in every relationship, function, and event, our desire is to encounter Jesus. We've found this ever-awareness of His Presence to be vital in maintaining life and adventure in all we are and do.

In February of 2015, our journey began with a word from God to disciple. Eight people on a Tuesday night, gathered around chips, salsa, and His Presence. That was our genesis. Within weeks though, the power of God had swept through and saved, healed, and delivered many more. A few months later, over 90 people were packing into Josh's downtown, loft apartment to worship, hear the Word preached and encounter the Holy Spirit.

Bursting at the seams, our gathering was forced to move into a store front property. A School of Discipleship and Healing Room were soon added. God made clear He had more in mind. In July of 2017, we moved into a newly remodeled building at 112 E Monroe Street, as the former property could no longer accommodate the main service crowds. With more building space, updated technology and growing media services, His Presence continued to manifest and increase in measure. All glory to God!

In February of 2023, founder Josh Adkins was commissioned out to a new ministry assignment in St. Louis, MO, while also traveling as an itinerant minister across the U.S. & abroad. Keith Thomas took on the position of Senior Pastor and Heather Vecera, Associate Pastor. For a season we placed emphasis on home gatherings and the Lord instructed our church to place a new emphasis on community, missions and outreach.

In March of 2024, Keith Thomas was sent out as a representative to the nations. Heather Vecera became Senior Pastor. We established a covering under the APOSTOLIC NETWORK OF GLOBAL AWAKENING. We continue to place importance on authentic community as we GATHER, GROW, GIVE and GO for HIS GLORY! We are excited for all this new season will bring!
