OUR STORY

Uflourish Church was due to be launched in April of 2020. However, COVID 19 erupted 2 weeks prior to the launch date, so a decision was made to put a pause on the physical launch and Dr. Kurt decided to move his launch team over to Zoom services. On that very first Sunday, Dr. Kurt saw his launch team dwindle from 36 people down to 12. Though very disheartening at the time, he continued to push forward. Interestingly, the Zoom community began to grow over the next 1.5 years and amazingly, deep, intimate, multi-ethnic relationships began to develop. Pastor Ronaldo joined the team in February of 2021 while Zoom church was still growing. Fast forward to April of 2021, Uflourish Church acquired its current building. With the help of great partnerships from churches in and around Milwaukee, renovations began and Uflourish opened its doors to the public on September 26,2021.
