About this church
Cultivate Church meets from 10:10 until about 11:20 a.m. Sunday at 500 South Main Street in Laotto. Guests are not asked to wear a name tag or introduce themselves publicly, and clothing ranges from shorts and T-shirts to dress pants and button-down shirts. After worship, people may visit at the Next Steps Table near the back of the auditorium, talk over lunch, or simply leave. Nursery and toddler care serves newborns through age four, while kindergarten through sixth grade meets during the service for songs, crafts, games, Bible stories, and life skills.
The congregation's Wesleyan roots reach back to 1850, when people connected with its predecessor congregation helped move freedom seekers north on the Underground Railroad despite the Fugitive Slave Law. That history informs a continuing emphasis on defending vulnerable people. Current mission work includes an annual Guatemala team, support for at-risk and teenage parents through Life and Family Services in Kendallville, and partnerships with Wesleyan and international relief organizations. Cultivate frames belief around God's grace and a relationship with Jesus rather than earning divine attention through a list of rules, summarizing its faith through the Apostles' Creed and the Trinity. A first-time family can arrive for one compact late-morning gathering, use nursery or KidMin during worship, and choose the Next Steps Table only if conversation would be helpful.
