Renew Polk was born out of the church-planting efforts of Trinity Presbyterian Church and its daughter churches. Over the course of their first 12 years, Trinity planted Christ Community, Redeemer Lakeland, Redeemer City and Strong Tower. As our family of churches has grown, we have begun to see daughter churches plant new churches with the launch of Redeemer Southwest in 2016 and a number of new churches in the core group phase. While we have seen much fruit over the last 12 years, we thought it was necessary to mobilize our efforts more systematically. This is why Renew Polk was formed - to create the infrastructure (funding and resourcing) necessary for aggressive church planting in Polk County for the next 20 years (and beyond). With the formation of Renew Polk, our stated goal is to see 20 new churches planted over the next 20 years.
