Nothing really happens in life until there is first a dream. Every bridge that has ever been engineered; every painting that has ever been painted; every great church that has ever been birthed, existed first in the mind and heart and imagination of a single individual or group of people before it ever existed in reality. Nothing happens until it is first a dream. God has birthed in us a dream to plant a church.

We dream of a church where the hurting, the hopeless, the discouraged, the depressed, the frustrated, and the confused of the world can discover love, acceptance, grace, hope, and healing. We dream of a church that presents the Gospel in a culturally relevant way using various forms of performing and visual arts and creative communication. We dream of a church where people can attend a service designed for those who are searching for God for the first time or simply want to rediscover Him in their lives.

We dream of a church where people are able to experience a deep sense of biblical community, where people exhibit the distinguishing mark of Christianity — they really love each other. We dream of a church that helps people discover their God-given spiritual gifts -- a church that is "moving rhythmically and easily with each other, efficiently and gracefully" as we follow the leadings and promptings of the Holy Spirit. We dream of a church in and through which people can grow as leaders who will influence their communities for Jesus Christ. We dream of a church that has a missional heart — a church fully committed to spreading the Gospel by strategically planting churches.

We realize this dream seems humanly impossible. However, we have great confidence that this dream will become a reality. Why? Because this dream is inspired by God.
