Bowling Green, Kentucky
Matt Mabry

In 2025, we will be planting a church in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Matt & Rachel Mabry have answered the call to be God's hands and feet to reach the students of Western Kentucky University and the people in Bowling Green.

BGKY Vision Trip

Why Bowling Green?

Bowling Green is home to Western Kentucky University (WKU) and its community continues to grow.

Quick Facts:

  • Bowling Green population is 75,000+ people
  • Metro area is 180,000+ people
  • Expecting 5% growth in the next 5 years
  • WKU has 16,000+ students
  • Bowling Green is only 1 hour away from downtown Nashville!

Several thousand refugees from many different countries live in Bowling Green. They had to leave their country and home due to a conflict or crises, and Bowling Green is one of the places that the government will house them. Many of them come from places that are difficult to access with the gospel.

Bowling Green is a growing community where people are responding to the gospel. We continued to be encouraged that this will be a great place to plant a church due to the need.

Come On a Vision Trip This Spring

Come join us on this vision trip where you will have the chance to see the city and the campus. We hope you will get an idea of what it could be like to live and do ministry in BGKY.
This trip is NOT a commitment to move with the church plant, but an opportunity for you to seek the Lord if this is where He would have you move! We look forward to spending a weekend with you in Bowling Green.
