Blogging a Journey

Yay!! Another new blog in a saturated blogosphere. What could this one possibly be about?

This one is about a Journey. A journey that has already started, but is now about to truly begin.
The journey is one of church planting. I, for now to be known as Hefe, and my yet-to-be nicknamed good friend are moving to Pittsburgh to bring a vision to life. A vision of a church that incarnates in a new, yet ancient way, to the people of one of the greatest cities in the US.

It will be a missional community. It will be a restorative community. It will be a blessing community. It will be one that paints a picture of the the glory and redemption of Christ to the city. We will be a city within the City. Our name is Doxa church, which simply means glory.

If none of this makes sense to you, that's OK. This is the place where we will blog our journey and our work in Pittsburgh. We have already been planning, dreaming, training, and preparing for sometime, but we want to use this forum to present our ideas, vision, obstacles, and anything else that presents itself on this road to planting Doxa-Pittsburgh.

Join the journey with us... Contribute to the conversation and the vision as we dialogue through this process. We don't know what the end of the journey looks like (or if there even is one), but we are setting out none-the-less. Hope to hear from you along the way. Welcome to the road!

Grace to you,
Hefe
