Founded in 1977, Olathe Evangelical Covenant Church met in local grade schools during its early years. In 1984, the church began a building project that produced a multipurpose sanctuary/gym. By then, Palmberg was the senior pastor of the congregation. After Palmberg left to become North Pacific Conference superintendent, David Lindfors became senior pastor. Under current pastor Chris Icenogle, the church has an average worship attendance of 110 in a suburb of Kansas City.
