Over time, through prayer, discernment, and time spent in the city, we have come to believe Lancaster is where our next season of service is meant to unfold. The city’s creative community, neighborhood scale, and cultural depth make it a place where patient, relational church planting can take root.
Artists and musicians shape culture and help communities interpret beauty, struggle, and meaning. Many within creative spaces have felt disconnected from traditional church environments. We believe that beginning with intentional presence in this community is both faithful and strategic. This focus defines where we start, not who the church will ultimately serve.
No. This relocation is not supported by a denomination or sending organization. We are moving as a family and inviting friends, partners, and supporters to come alongside us through prayer and financial partnership during this transition.
We plan to relocate to Lancaster at the end of June 2026. The months leading up to the move are focused on preparation, employment, and logistical planning to ensure a stable transition.
The first year will focus on establishing residency, securing employment, building relationships, and listening well to the community. We are not launching a fully structured church immediately. We believe healthy beginnings are relational and grow from presence rather than programming.
No. The relocation is the first step. Church planting will unfold gradually as relationships form and discernment continues. We are committed to a long-term approach rather than a rapid launch model.
There are three primary ways:
Pray for clarity, provision, and open doors.
Offer financial support toward relocation and landing costs.
Share the mission by sharing this website with others who may want to walk with us.
Yes. This site documents our relocation and the beginning of this new chapter. As the work develops in Lancaster, it will serve as a bridge to whatever grows next.
Funds raised through GoFundMe are designated for relocation and landing costs. These include moving expenses, securing rental housing, vehicle travel, and a modest margin to stabilize our family during the first months on the ground in Lancaster. If excess funds are received they will be used to cover outreach costs over the first year.
