Urban Church Planting... The Dream

A Multi-ethnic, multi-denominational movement driven by young adults creating communities of spiritual and social transformation across urban Houston.

After two decades of deeply fulfilling ministry in suburban Houston, God has called me into the city. Kim McManus put it so well: "My world, my city, is calling my name."

  • The Dream is of an ethos of creativity and compassion, of inclusion and social justice, of simplicity and authenticity.
  • The Dream is of simple churches serving specific people in specific neighborhoods; not of a cruise ship, but of a lifeboat pulling desperate people to safety
  • The Dream is one of living the way the Disciples lived, doing the things that Jesus did, and loving the way that Jesus loved.
  • The Dream is not of a single urban church, but of a movement of churches spreading virally across our city.
  • The Dream is of 20-somethings in partnership with and supported by 50-somethings in common cause and enjoying mentoring relationships.
  • More to come...
