Oral history interview with Brad Mann and Jason Morris conducted by Emily Stratton in Lenexa, kansas, on June 27, 2013. Brad Mann is the Speedway Campus Pastor and Jason Morris is the Online Campus Pastor for Westside Family Church. Westside Family Church is a well-established Southern Baptist affiliated church based in Lenexa, Kansas. Beginning as Quivira Rd. Baptist Church back in 1976, but in the mid-1990s, church leadership began to re-vision the church and begin implementing new approaches to running the church. As a part of this transitional period, Quivira Rd. Baptist underwent the name change to Westside Family Church and began some serious expansion planning. Throughout the later 1990s and continuing into the present, the church has undergone numerous building relocations in order to accommodate for a rapidly growing congregation size. At the same time, the church also began transitioning into a multi-site church model, establishing a few other campuses outside of Lenexa. Today, the church operates four primary campuses: Lenexa, Speedway (a campus located near the Kansas Speedway, better known today as the Legends shopping area), Lansing Prison (there are three sub-campuses there), and an online campus. Both Brad and Jason have been instrumental partners in establishing Westside’s multi-site operations. Questions focus primarily upon the logistics of shifting an independent single-site church into a multi-site church, and how each of Westside’s current campuses function (including the Lansing Campus). The end of the interview focuses primarily upon Jason Morris and his role with the Online Campus—a new, if not cutting edge, approach to running church in an age with incredible technological capabilities. This interview was conducted for the Religion in Kansas Project as part of a summer fieldwork internship funded by the Friends of the Department of Religious Studies.

Oral history interview with Deacon Godsey conducted by Emily Stratton in Lawrence, Kansas, on June 21, 2013. Deacon Godsey is the lead pastor at Vintage Church in Lawrence. Vintage Church is one of Lawrence’s newer non-denominational churches. The church originally began under the name of “Heartland K-10” in 2003, as a multi-site operation to Lawrence from Heartland Community Church in Olathe, KS. But after a few years of being in Lawrence, Heartland K-10’s leadership team worked with Heartland Community Church to shift the Lawrence campus into an independent church plant that would no longer to be affiliated with Heartland Community Church—Vintage Church. More of this transitional story can be heard in an interview with Seth Davidson (former Heartland K-10 staff and founder of Vintage Church) conducted in 2010. After Vintage had gained stability in Lawrence, Seth Davidson brought Deacon Godsey into the leadership team. After co-pastoring for a while, Seth transitioned out of his leading role, where Deacon, then, became the Lead Pastor. This interview features Deacon Godsey and picks up where the 2010 interview with Seth Davidson leaves off. Questions cover the leadership transition from Seth to Deacon as well as current ‘forms & functions’ in the church. In other words, Emily and Deacon discuss how Vintage sets up and takes down (since they do not utilize their own church building), how they get congregants involved in church, what it’s like to be a younger church in a college town where there is a large population turnover each year and a large student population base, and some re-iterations about the vision for the church—why Vintage takes the form and goals that it does. This interview was conducted for the Religion in Kansas Project as part of a summer fieldwork internship funded by the Friends of the Department of Religious Studies.

Oral history interview with David Frech conducted by Emily Stratton in Olathe, Kansas, on July 10, 2013. David Frech is the senior pastor at the Church of the Harvest in Olathe, Kansas. Church of the Harvest started up in Olathe in 1998 through a handful of people gathering for Bible studies and a purchase—in faith—of a church building on the market. Led by David Frech, enough funding was gathered and the church began to grow in Olathe. Over the past decade, however, the church has gone through continual processes of change, continually re-vamping service and program formats to better fit the changing times and technologies. Currently, the church is undergoing construction with an expansion that nearly doubles its square footage. A recent change that is already well in place, however, was launched in 2010 and has been dubbed “church: interactive.” As the name suggests, the format is geared toward making church services a more interactive space and more engaging time for attendees. This interview features David Frech and provides a brief overview of the history of Church of the Harvest’s early days and its transition into “church: interactive,” including a description of “church: interactive” and its main structural components. Later in the interview, a few tentative ideas for the upcoming “church: interactive 2.0” are also discussed. This interview was conducted for the Religion in Kansas Project as part of a summer fieldwork internship funded by the Friends of the Department of Religious Studies.

Joshua and Alyssa Smith, a couple living in Kansas City, Kansas, discuss their long histories with Christian intentional community. Both graduate students in theology, Joshua and Alyssa briefly lived in a loosely-organized intentional community in Liberty, Missouri. While they attempted to establish an intentional community in Kansas City—Anavah House—they do not currently have enough support to actualize the community.

Oral history interview with Gregg Hall conducted by Emily Stratton in Olathe, Kansas, on June 24, 2013. Gregg Hall is the pastor for the Ottawa, Kansas, branch of Life Church. Life Church is a non-denominational church that was planted in Olathe, KS in 2002 in partnership with Resurrection Life Church International (RLCI), an international church-planting organization based in Michigan. In 2012, however, it made the transition into becoming a multi-site church with the launch of a campus in Ottawa, KS. Questions focus upon Gregg’s time with Life Church and the development of the Ottawa Campus (why Ottawa over other locations, logistics of being a part of a multi-site operation, and goals for the church). Near the beginning of the interview, there are also some questions about Life Church’s beginnings as a church plant in 2002 and Life Church’s relationship with RLCI.

Oral history interview with Larry Wren conducted by Emily Stratton in Wichita, Kansas, on June 16, 2013. Larry Wren is a long-time member and leader in Pathway Church, and now also serves as Pathway's Café Campus Pastor. Pathway Church is a well-established non-denominational church in Wichita, Kansas. Though originally planted in 1959 as Westlink Christian Church, the church underwent major changes in 2003, with the opening of its new campus (a ‘megachurch’ facility) and a change in its name to Pathway Church. Shortly following these changes and with increased growth in church attendance, Pathway began to try to focus less upon its megachurch, programmatic, or “shopping mall” aspects. Instead, church leadership sought to emphaize more home group activity and also change some of the “forms and functions” of running the church’s services. Though many changes are still in discussion, one change that came into fruition in 2012 was the development of what Pathway calls the “Café Campus.” Though the Café Campus takes place within the same building facility as Pathway’s “Westlink Campus” and shares the same children’s programs, the Café Campus has its own pastoral staff, its own tech team, its own worship band, and its own set of volunteers. There, it takes on a less traditional atmosphere than the Westlink Campus’s services and is also scaled down in size. The interview focuses upon the establishment and implementation of the Café Campus as a branch of Pathway, and some of the development strategies and challenges regarding shifting Pathway into a multi-site church. This interview was conducted for the Religion in Kansas Project as part of a summer fieldwork internship funded by the Friends of the Department of Religious Studies.

Oral history interview of Kahler Wiebe conducted by Jordan Roane in Lawrence, Kansas, on November 11, 2014. Kahler is 15 years old and the youngest member of the Wiebe family. The Wiebe family regularly attends Grace Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Lawrence, Kansas, so Kahler has grown up going to church and learning about Jesus her whole life. Along with this, Kahler was raised in a family that very much values their faith, hard work, and putting others before themselves. She attributes much of this to her dad’s Mennonite background. Kahler discusses her experiences growing up in the Wiebe household, attending church, and having strong Christian beliefs instilled in her. This interview was conducted for the Religion and Kansas Project as a term project for Professor Tim Miller.

Oral history interview with Susan Christensen conducted by Diego Guerrero on May 16, 2017. A 29 year old private school teacher, Susan Christensen is a lifelong Mormon and Kansas native. Her perspective is that of a white, old stock (polygamist pioneer descent), orthodox Mormon, but also that of a political liberal and hence somewhat of an outsider in a mostly conservative church. Her experience can serve to dispel some myths about the stereotypical lifestyle and views of a Mormon woman, as Susan is very dedicated to the religion but also very much a feminist. The interview took place in her private residence in town.

Oral history interview with Matt Cox conducted by Emily Stratton in Lawrence, Kansas, on July 16, 2013. This interview features Matt Cox, the planter and lead pastor of EastLake Community Church. EastLake Community Church is a non-denominational church-plant that was launched in Lawrence, Kansas in 2009. As EastLake recently produced a documentary video about its origins and history, questions in this interview do not repeat what has already been recorded. This video is available for viewing from the Religion in Kansas Project archives, and its transcription is also available there. It is recommended that the video or video transcript be viewed prior to reading this present interview transcript. Interview questions here are further follow-up questions, based upon the history as presented in the video. After hearing bit more background to Matt’s personal history, interview questions focus primarily upon four topics: first, a breakdown of EastLake’s funding and financial resources before launching in Lawrence; second, what was required of Matt in order to transition his career in video game programming into being a lead pastor and church planter; third, some of the challenges faced during EastLake’s “desert period” in which securing a permanent location was a major difficulty; and fourth, some projections for EastLake’s future, now that a permanent location has been secured. This interview was conducted for the Religion in Kansas Project as part of a summer fieldwork internship funded by the Friends of the Department of Religious Studies.

Oral history interview with Jared Scholz and Kalah Sipp conducted by Emily Stratton in Lawrence, Kansas, on June 26, 2013. Jared Scholz is the founder and Senior Pastor of The Greenhouse Culture; Kalah Sipp is The Greenhouse Culture’s Administrative Assistant. The Greenhouse Culture is one of Lawrence’s most recent church-plants, launching in 2012. It is also an affiliate church of Resurrection Life Church International (RLCI), an international church-planting organization based in Michigan. Both Jared and Kalah were former employees at Life Church in Olathe, KS (also an RLCI affiliate) while feeling the call to plant in Lawrence. This interview discusses how both Jared and Kalah transitioned out of their positions at Life Church and into planting The Greenhouse Culture in Lawrence. Since Jared also played a large role in planting Life Church in 2002. Therefore, a few interview questions near the beginning of the discussion also cover Life Church’s early days and Jared’s role there. See the interview Emily conducted with Gregg Hall for more information about Life Church. The remainder of interview questions, then, discuss the logistics of planting Life Church and how the church has begun to take shape (financial resources, relationship with RLCI, how funding is utilized, how people have gotten connected into the congregation, how church services are conducted, roles of social media, etc). This interview was conducted for the Religion in Kansas Project as part of a summer fieldwork internship funded by the Friends of the Department of Religious Studies.
