Who we are A house church movement where God's people and presence connect. Our prayer is that the people of Music City would be transformed one life at a time by an encounter with Jesus, through relationship, discipleship, and worship. We have four house churches currently meeting on different nights of the week.
What God has done in 2021 As a house church movement, we see people who won't typically show up in a church service. One of those people is Leah. She had run away from home, living out of her car. One of our house church leaders invited her to come and talk about faith. She showed up a couple weeks later. Then again. And again. Then she met with me to give her life fully to Jesus. She was baptized the following Sunday and is now discipling a couple other younger girls, and working in a mission-minded coffeehouse much like Ebenezers. A life changed, by the power of a gospel-centered community!

What God has done in 2021 Our church services launched Sunday, October 31, 2021, with 110 people in attendance. The fact that we actually pulled off launching a church while still dealing with a pandemic is quite a feat. We have seen God work through people as they generously gave of their time, talent, and treasure. And I think the biggest encouragement might be the number of churches in Baltimore that have reached out and actually helped us launch. At least eight churches have sent people, resources, and helped promote the launch of Hope Baltimore. That's what unity looks like! 10
