What Does It Mean to Build the Church We Dream Of?
There’s a movement happening in the Church right now.
You can hear it in the music — the way familiar songs are being reshaped for a new generation.
They’re not replacing the old truths; they’re building on them.
They’re expanding what was good — carrying the same foundation into a fuller expression of God’s heart.
That’s what it means to build the Church we dream of.
When truth takes root, it changes us.
And change — even the good kind — calls us to adjust, to stretch, to realign.
It’s not easy to do alone.
This community is about leaning into everything God has already done,
so we can come into alignment with the beautiful changes He’s bringing.
Together, we’re learning to grow into truth — not just believe it.
Because when we grow together, the Church becomes more of what it was always meant to be.
