a city on a hill


"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."
-Matthew 5:14, 16


The way of Jesus is more than a faith, more than a collection of common beliefs. The way of Jesus is a movement, leaving a trail of transformed lives in its wake. It is a rolling, rising tide of grace. And we have been swept up in it.

The same grace that searched us out with the hope of rescue is sending us out with this message of Love.

We have answered an unshakable call to plant a new church in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. To form a new community of Spirit-filled Storytellers, creatively expressing the mercy of God. To live as captives to the truth that sets souls free. To become what the prophet Isaiah called, "a planting of the LORD for the display of His splendor..."

To be light in the dark, like a city on a hill.

The Hills will echo with the praises of His people....
I can't wait to see what God is going to do through you and Sarah as you bend to His will and guidance.
The reaping will be mightier that you can even imagine.
We love you guys....
