Next up in our Business Spotlight: Resilient Church.

Resilient Church began in 2021 when Pastor Jake Thurston and his family moved to Vermillion to start a church plant. From meetups at the Vermillion Public Library to Sunday services at the Dakota Center, the church has steadily grown into a thriving community.

This growth inspired the launch of the new Resilient Community Center, a gathering space designed for work, study and play! Join us tomorrow as we celebrate the new community center with a ribbon cutting and open house at noon. Free Pizza Ranch pizza to follow!
