Pastor Eric and Mandy Gilbert felt a call of God to return to their hometown of Russell Springs, KY, and launch a dream that would become 3trees Church.  Beginning in September 2000, with a team of six people, the church opened its doors in a converted truck stop restaurant.   
 
Six years later, in 2006, there was a sense among our congregation that we must shift from being a "Come & See" church to becoming a "Go & Tell" church.  As a result, we went into the streets with our first CAPTIVATE event! 
 
Our church now gets to facilitate CAPTIVATE ministries year-round through our food and clothing support center.  CAPTIVATE also partners with other non-profits both locally and globally and hosts various events that facilitate healthcare, food and clothing distribution, and moments of joy for children. 
 
The directive to "go and tell" has also led our church to become a multi-site congregation. And, the addition of our first multi-site location came as a result of a very unique and God-ordained partnership with Living Grace Church in Campbellsville, KY.  
 
Living Grace began in 2002 when 17 individuals stepped out in faith believing that God was calling them to start a new work in Campbellsville, KY.  They first met in homes, having services in a garage; however, growth soon forced them to search for new gathering spaces.  The next few years included meeting in a warehouse, a movie theater, and a renovated church facility, before arriving at a cutting-edge facility that had formerly been a large Coca-Cola Bottling, Inc. plant.  In July 2014, after a season of spiritual partnership between the churches, Living Grace Church voted unanimously to join the family of 3trees and officially become the first multi-site location of 3trees Church.

 
 Currently, our church has four locations, Russell Springs, Campbellsville, Columbia, and Online. 

We are focused on seeking the lost, making disciples, and meeting needs as we love God and love people because EVERYONE NEEDS JESUS.  For us, it will be about Jesus, all about Jesus, and always about Jesus.  And, our experience in God over the years, and our faith for the future, lead us to one conclusion:  "Greater things are yet to come!"
