Welcome to PneuProject
PneuProject was founded in 2011 to create faith experiences that break through barriers. Named from the Greek word used for "breath, wind, & the Holy Spirit" in the New Testament Scriptures.
We launch ministries that share the Way of the Lord, Yehoshua (meaning Yeho 'the Lord' - Shua 'saves'.) He was then called Yeshua, now we call Him Jesus.
Worship services, creative arts, mission work, special needs, provision... we create opportunities for people to encounter faith in action.
These expressions of faith have resulted in hundreds of people choosing to follow Jesus.

Artisan Market Oswego, Eureka
The Artisan Market was a celebration of creativity and opportunity to share the arts with those who create and support creatives. Launched in 2018 as an outdoor market for handmakers, it persisted in Oswego for several years, and also moved to an indoor location in Eureka, IL from 2019 - 2024. Many of our makers were supporting special needs family members, and many were themselves disabled. It was a delight to support their work!
Big Life Community Church
Launched 2012 Local Congregation of PneuProject in Oswego, IL
Permanently Closed June 2024
Big Life CC succeeded in offering radical welcome to any that sought Jesus for the first several years it served the Oswego area, baptizing over 200 people into the faith of the Christ from 2012- 2023. Offering a variety of worship styles, love of creative music, and serious mission work, the congregation served in its local context in Oswego throughout its lifespan. Unfortunately, the Big Life CC ministry ended in 2024 by choice of its elders, servants, and ultimately agreed to by the PneuProject board, in order to allow more healthy local ministries to launch in the space.
PneuProject is grateful for the servanthood of those who endeavored to build the Kingdom of Christ in Oswego through Big Life CC and commits to ongoing work to share Yeshua, welcome and include those who seek Him, and to give the Lord better in this community.
