our story

What began as separate lives, in separate cities culminates today in a common heart and purpose. Unknowingly, the journey began...

10 years ago...

...in Charlotte, North Carolina, the Christian & Missionary Alliance began to pray someone would step forward with a heart for the city and a desire to start a new church in south Charlotte…

...in Breckenridge, Colorado a 20 year old man experienced a life-changing encounter with God and began his faith journey…

...in Indianapolis, Indiana a 25 year old man was empty and disconnected despite the fame and prestige that accompanies an NFL career...

...in Little Rock, Arkansas a 30 year old man was inspired to live for more than the 9-5 grind…

Today, 10 years later...

...in Charlotte, North Carolina, the lives and faith of Andrew Smith, Derwin Gray and Derrick Bucy, supported by the Christian & Missionary Alliance denomination, have intersected for such a time as this.

Looking back we see how 10 years ago in separate cities, living separate lives, God began to take action in our hearts to prepare us for what He would bring about today... and it all began with prayer.
