About Us

We exist to lead people to discover and display the Reality of Jesus.

What does that mean? It’s a description of what it means to follow Jesus. For thousands of years, Christians have been helping people discover who Jesus is by sharing his good news and displaying his unconditional love in acts of mercy, justice, and love. We’re in Miami to continue to pursue God’s vision for the church - a place where we can learn to pursue God passionately, build authentic community, and live on mission.
