Who We Are
Raising a people of His presence and power, abiding in Him, burning with His glory, and carrying revival to the world.
Our Heart
We see a movement of sons and daughters awakened to the Father's heart, abiding in His presence, walking in the power of the Holy Spirit, and carrying the fire of revival wherever He sends them—faithfully preparing the way of the Lord in every generation.
Like the vision entrusted to Habakkuk, we believe the Lord is writing a clear vision for this generation so that those who read it may run with it (Habakkuk 2:2–3). Our desire is not merely to build a local church, but to cultivate a people who carry the culture of Heaven into every sphere of influence, revealing the Father's heart and preparing the way of the Lord until the earth is filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord.
We see ordinary believers becoming wholehearted disciples, disciples becoming leaders, leaders raising spiritual families, homes becoming dwelling places, tables becoming centers of discipleship, and communities transformed by the presence and power of God. As lives are transformed, highways are prepared for others to encounter Jesus, and the Father's heart is revealed from one generation to the next.
What We’re Building
We envision a multiplying movement where revival flows from abiding, formation produces faithful leaders, spiritual fathers and mothers raise generations of sons and daughters, and every believer is equipped to host His presence, steward His glory, and faithfully prepare the way of the Lord wherever He sends them.
As the vision spreads, we believe God will establish dwelling places across cities and nations—communities marked by intimacy with Jesus, devotion to His Word, the power of the Holy Spirit, covenant family, and a passion to make disciples who make disciples. Together, these communities will stand as living testimonies that the King is worthy, preparing the way for His Kingdom to be revealed in every place and every generation.
This is the vision we are running with until the knowledge of the glory of the Lord covers the earth as the waters cover the sea, and every generation has been invited to encounter the Father, abide in His presence, carry His glory, and prepare the way of the Lord.
OUR FOUNDATION
We are rooted in the truth of Scripture and led by the Spirit of God.
We believe in a living Gospel—where truth comes alive, the presence of God is tangible, and His power is revealed through miracles, healing, deliverance, and restoration.
We believe that through Jesus Christ, we are reconciled to the Father, filled with the Holy Spirit, and empowered to live as sons and daughters who carry His Kingdom into the earth.
Presence
Everything begins and ends in the presence of God. We pursue intimacy above activity, choosing to minister to the Lord before we minister to people. His presence is our home, our greatest reward, and the source from which every ministry, decision, and expression flows.
Formation
We believe discipleship is the lifelong process of being transformed into the likeness of Jesus. As we behold Him, the Holy Spirit forms His character within us, renewing our minds, healing our hearts, and shaping every area of our lives. We are committed to cultivating rhythms that deepen intimacy with God and produce lasting transformation.
Family
We cultivate a spiritual family where sons and daughters encounter the Father's heart, discover their identity, and flourish in covenant community. We believe transformation happens in relationship, and that God sets the lonely in families.
Truth
The Word of God is our absolute authority and the lens through which we see everything. Through Scripture and the leading of the Holy Spirit, we are anchored in truth, transformed into His likeness, and equipped to discern His voice with both conviction and grace.
Power
We believe the Gospel is meant to be demonstrated, not merely declared. Filled with the Holy Spirit, we expect the Kingdom of God to be revealed through salvation, healing, deliverance, prophecy, miracles, signs, and wonders as lives are transformed by the power and glory of God.
Mission
Having encountered His presence and been formed into His likeness, we are sent to carry His glory into our homes, workplaces, communities, and the nations. We are committed to making disciples, raising leaders, awakening revival, and preparing the way of the Lord until the earth reflects the beauty of His Kingdom.
WHAT MARKS US
OUR CONFESSION
“For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.”
1 Corinthians 3:11
At The Dwelling Place, our lives, our worship, our discipleship, and our mission are built upon the person of Jesus Christ and the authority of God's Word. This confession expresses the biblical truths that anchor our faith and unite us as the family of God.
OUR CULTURE OF FAMILY
We believe the Father has always desired a family.
Through the blood of Jesus Christ, we have been adopted as sons and daughters and brought into covenant relationship with both God and one another.
We believe spiritual family is central to God's design for His Church. As brothers and sisters in Christ, we are called to love deeply, bear one another's burdens, speak the truth in love, pursue unity, extend forgiveness, and encourage one another toward maturity.
We believe God sets the lonely in families, and we desire to cultivate a church where every person is known, loved, discipled, and welcomed home.
