Our Story
Making every place better physically and spiritually—starting with our city.
Since 2012, MiddleTree has been a life-giving church in St. Louis that reflects the culture of the communities that surround it.
We believe that people are God’s greatest treasure. Our church exists because we want to encounter a powerful, living God who changes and transforms lives. Because of what God is doing, we are committed to loving, serving, and bringing restoration to those around us.
How We Got Our Name
The Middle Tree
The life, death, and resurrection of Jesus is central to what we believe. He was hanged on a tree between two thieves…the middle tree.
“Here they crucified Him, and with Him two others–one on each side and Jesus in the middle.” John 19:18
A City Divided
St. Louis is a divided city. Our vision is to bridge the division. What would communicate the love of God louder to a radically and socio-economically divided city than a church that truly unites the communities that surround it? MiddleTree is a display of life among the division.

What We Believe
The Bible: The Old and New Testament is God’s inspired Word to us; a revelation of God to humanity. It is trustworthy and authoritative in regards to our faith and conduct.
God: There is only one true God, revealed in three person: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God is omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent.
Jesus: Jesus is the Son of God, both human and divine, Lord and Savior. Jesus voluntarily paid for our sin by dying on the cross as our substitute. He rose from the dead and sits at the right hand of God.
Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is a gift given to those who obey God, received through repentance and belief in the name of Jesus. Being Filled with the Holy Spirit is distinct from the experience of the new birth. The nine fruits of the Spirit in Galatians 5 are the by-product of a Spirit-led life and evidence of spiritual maturity.
The Fall and Salvation of mankind: Though originally good, man willingly chose rebellion towards God. Every person can have restored fellowship with God through salvation–trusting Jesus, through faith and repentance, to be your personal savior.
Church: The Church is the body of Christ and has a four-fold purpose: To worship God, to evangelize the world, to equip for ministry, and to show compassion.
Ordinances: We practice two symbolic ordinances–Water Baptism and Communion.
Final Judgment: There will be a final judgment, in which the dead will be resurrected and judged according to their works.
