The Mandate for what is today known as the Uncommon Church was birth in the heart of Pastor Dala Alphonso on February 16, 2003 while in Greenville, Michigan where he was a guest speaker at a local Church. From Isaiah 2:2,3, he discovered that God was calling him to pioneer an "Uncommon" Church which culminated in our mission statement "Raise up an uncommon people: a people of uncommon knowledge, a people of uncommon wisdom whose influence will bring about a radical change to our world".

The Preparation began in earnest as Pastor Dala and his family were taken through several seasons to equip them for this uncommon assignment. Prayers, planning and positioning continued steadfastly for three and a half years before Omaha was chosen as the launching pad for this global mission. By faith, Pastor Dala and his family moved to Omaha in the summer of 2007 and began reaching out to anyone he could find within the city limits which included neighbors, co-workers, clerks at gas stations, grocery stores, hotels and whoever he could find.

The Foundation for the Uncommon Church was laid on Sunday, August 12, 2007 with a grand opening service at the Hampton Inn & Suites - Westroads, Omaha which attracted 33 men, women and children. It was a very exciting start for a Church that we know is going to greatly impact this city and indeed the nation. Since 99% of the membership were brand new Christians, it was expedient to spend time in developing them to ensure a strong relationship and walk with God. For over six months, no advertisement whatsoever was placed in the media but the news spread by word of mouth to over 60 people who visited our group Bible studies on Sunday mornings and Thursday nights. During this period, we have recorded amazing transformation in the lives of several people who have visited and remained with us to form the core of the Uncommon Church: read some of their stories.

The New Beginnings with a commencement of publicized worship services at the new Church and a formal introduction to the city of Omaha was held on Sunday, March 23, 2008 during the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ!
