Who we are
We are a new church plant in Northwest Arkansas, and our target location is somewhere west of Highway 49.
We are currently meeting as a core group for Bible Study, prayer and worship every other Friday night 5:30-8:00 pm.
We are a plant of Covenant Baptist Church in Springdale, AR and Crossway Fellowship in Lynnwood, WA.
We will continue to be affiliated with Covenant Baptist Church via a new church network that will be formed between these two churches and other like-minded congregations.

Learn more about Pastor Bart
Bart and Kristen Hodgson have been in ministry for over thirty years. It all began when they met at the University of Arkansas. But their ministry journey has taken them to Louisiana, Colorado, Texas, Missouri, Oregon and Washington. Bart has served in various pastor roles: youth, worship, lead, executive, and now church planter. Bart attended Denver Seminary where he received his MA in Counseling and his MDIV. Most recently, Bart co-planted Covenant Baptist Church in Springdale.
Kristen's main love was raising their three children. But around those years, she worked as an elementary teacher, a photographer, and in development for non-profits. She currently serves Loving Choices as their Development Director. Their children are Hannah, Carmen and Isaac and two grandsons, Beau and Emmett.
Bart loves fellowship, good coffee, despises pineapple on pizza, and is the fixer of all things. Kristen loves connecting with others, learning animal husbandry, and most of all, playing with her grandboys.
