During the COVID-19 pandemic, a small, organic gathering of families in Vinton began streaming services from Veritas Church Cedar Rapids. United by a shared desire for a church deeply rooted in Scripture, passionate about worship, and committed to reaching the next generation, they longed to make a Kingdom impact in Benton County. As this grassroots gathering outgrew a local garage, it moved to the Palace Theater in April 2021. Shortly after, the elders of Veritas Church Cedar Rapids met with several core couples from the group. These families chose to join Veritas Church Cedar Rapids, and together they partnered with its elders to pursue the goal of planting a church in Benton County. By October 2021, interest meetings were underway for what would become Veritas Church Urbana.
