OUR STORY

---

We have been together since 2017 but our hearts and imaginations had been captivated by Jesus long before then. During college, Blake developed a deep love and burden for the local church that eventually progressed into a vision and passion for church planting and multiplication. While dating, God aligned our hearts toward this joint calling to see the Kingdom of Heaven further established and expanded in our city. 

Over the years, we would walk and drive through the streets of Atlanta gripped by Jesus' heart for the city and praying for God to use us in His redemptive mission. In 2020 Blake entered a church planting residency at an incredible church in northwest Atlanta where we were given the necessary tools and experiences to begin actively pursuing the calling God had placed on our lives. 

After four years on staff developing the vision for our future church as well as leading and pastoring college students and young adults, we are excited to be back in the city starting Kingdom City Church. We believe with all our hearts that Jesus is alive and enthroned over all creation, determined to push back darkness and set people free, and He will do that here (in our city) and now (in these days) as we say "yes" to Him and His will for our lives. 

Today, we (along with our son) drive along the same streets dreaming about the same mission and vision we've had all these years:  to see God's will done and His Kingdom come in Atlanta as it is in Heaven. Will you join us?
