Even before we were married, we dreamed of a people who would live deeply rooted in Christ. We imagined the church returning to the apostolic foundations of Acts, gathering around the table like the early Church, growing as disciples, and carrying the power of the Gospel into their homes, families, and communities.

Our journey has taken us through years of ministry, including mentoring married couples, planting churches, leading worship, equipping leaders, and launching Empowered Culture Ministries to raise up voices of influence across the world. Along the way, we’ve seen the cost of shallow Christianity and the urgent need for spiritual formation that begins in the secret place and moves outward with power and purpose.

Now, we believe it’s time to establish a church that reflects God’s original design: presence over performance, discipleship over spectatorship, and a culture of abiding that brings lasting transformation.

We believe God is moving in Greenville, SC, and that this region is being positioned to ignite a move of the Spirit that will awaken the Church, restore families, and shake the Bible Belt with the power of the Kingdom. We are building this house with prophetic expectation and open arms—because we know the best days of the Church are not behind us… they are just beginning.
