“I pastored for twenty years hoping to find a congregational system that would allow people to experience his reality. It was only after I was forced out that I began to get a glimpse of the reality I’d been seeking most of my life.

I found her where I least expected her to be—right in front of me! I had been searching for her in all the wrong places and actually had no idea what I was looking for until I stumbled upon her. It was far simpler than I considered, and when I embraced that reality I found myself at home with a family I always hoped existed.

Jesus is building this church by quietly bringing together a family so rich and vast that she doesn’t need the religious conventions we’ve used to contain her.”
