Why Pathway?
The Quad Cities is one of the most unique areas in the Midwest. Compiled of four “original” cities (Davenport, Rock Island, Moline, and Bettendorf) and now also home to several other smaller outlying communities (Milan, East Moline, Coal Valley, Colona, Silvis, Carbon Cliff) the Quad Cities is home to almost 390,000 people with a combined statistical area population of over 474,000. This makes it the 90th-largest combined statistical area population in the nation.
Seated on the mighty Mississippi River each of the individual communities have their own distinct identity and landmarks, but function as one larger metropolis with a strong sense of community. Home of the headquarters to John Deere and The Arsenal the Quad Cities area has a unique niche in the business world.
Sadly, despite being seated directly in the heart of America, the Quad Cities area is currently ranked 25th on the list of “most unchurched cities”. The Barna Group currently estimates that 42% of the nearly half a million people who live in the Quad Cities area have not attended a church service in the last 6 months. That means there are nearly 250,000 people who either don’t know Jesus, have walked away from Him, or are living lives without purpose away from the community of believers.
