About a year ago my heart began to be pulled towards church planting. It started with a general excitement about the idea of churches spreading and growing, then phased into a humble realization that pursuing church planting would carry with it certain costs that I would need to evaluate with myself and my wife. After going through this period of evaluation, including praying, reading, listening, studying and attending a conference we have decided that it is time to at least begin this process.

As my vision for a church began to develop, I realized that I needed to share this with people in my life who could give some positive and constructive feedback. The first person I shared it with was my wife. After talking through what needed to happen, she confirmed that this is something we (somewhat reluctantly) desired to do. The next step was to meet with men in my life who would help give me some direction.  From my pastor Kyle Martin to graphic/web guys and buddies Zach House and Matt Simo I began to share, edit, and re-share this vision.

To make a long story short, here is where we are:

We want to develop an intentional, authentic, missional community in North Dallas starting in the city of Addison. To work towards this end, we are spending the next 7 weeks in prayer for our community and asking God to raise up fellow leaders to join us.

Every Wednesday I will post the prayer for the week as well as any updates. If you are interested in partnering with us in any way, we would love to sit and talk with you over a meal or coffee. We have a long road ahead of us, and know that we do not have all the answers about how to best run a church. That being said we have been called to serve in this way, and are passionate about pursuing this calling.  At the end of the day, we want to be faithful for doing our part in making Christ known and treasured in our communities.
