Helping the Community Grow

Founders
Tina & James Dahl
James and Tina Dahl are passionate revivalists who desire to move with God in this unique time of history, equipping believers for the harvest.
James and Tina have been married for 29 years and have followed Jesus for 26 of those years. They are the parents of 7 children–4 adult children and 3 children still at home. They have witnessed the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ in their lives and in their family; through miraculous healings, financial provisions, powerful deliverances, inner healing, and taking hold of their true identities. They believe it only takes one transformed person to change the course of a family and a community.
James and Tina's desire is to foster a culture where the gospel of Jesus Christ is manifested in a safe and vulnerable community, while empowering students with the biblical truths of who they are and what they carry so they can practically, and supernaturally release the kingdom of God in their unique spheres of influence.

Katie Crowe
Katie has a fire burning in her heart for the church body to be awakened and fully live as sons and daughters who know they are loved and called by name from Father God, and that they would not just go to church but be the church everyday! She and her husband are raising two young kids to be on fire for Jesus. Katie honors the gifts of the Spirit in her children and is teaching them how to use those gifts in their daily walk because she believes there is no junior Holy Spirit. Katie also wants to see Gen Z encounter the love of the Father, to be awakened and empowered by the Holy Spirit, so they can be a part of this next great awakening. In her opinion this next awakening will be similar to “The Jesus People Movement”
