ABOUT US
OUR PASSION
The one true God came to earth and indwelled a human body (John 1:14), full of grace and truth, yet did not destroy us, and we called him Jesus.
Since the beginning of creation, God's desire has been to dwell with humanity. Throughout the Old Testament, He allowed heaven and earth to overlap through sacred spaces such as the tabernacle and the temple—places where His presence uniquely resided among His people. Yet these were only shadows pointing to a greater reality.
God ultimately came to humanity in an unexpected way: in the person of Jesus Christ, the true Temple. Through His life, death, and resurrection, Jesus made possible something revolutionary—the very presence of God dwelling within human beings. What was once confined to a physical temple is now available to every believer. As Scripture declares, we are "jars of clay" carrying the treasure of God's presence within us (2 Corinthians 4:7). We have become the living temples of God, places where heaven and earth overlap and where God and humanity are united in intimate fellowship.
This is the good news of the Kingdom is that God is not distant. He is near and He desires to dwell within His people.
The death and resurrection of Jesus ushered in a new way of being human. Through faith in Christ, God comes to make His home within us (John 14:23–24). This is not merely a future promise but a present reality. The living God can be known, experienced, and interacted with today. When we surrender our kingdom to His Kingdom, He fills us with His Spirit and invites us into the abundant life He intended from the beginning.
The gospel is more than the forgiveness of sins; it is the restoration of God's presence within humanity. Jesus came not only to save us from something, but to bring us into something—the life of the Kingdom of God on earth now. Through His indwelling Spirit, we become citizens of that Kingdom and participants in His divine life here and now.
We are dedicated to spreading the availability of Him as your supreme treasure and pleasure in life, and desire to revive and reclaim the good news that Jesus preached about the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 4:17) and the reality of Christ coming to dwell in you (Colossians 1:27). We hope to create a space where people experience new life, deep connection, character transformation, and making Jesus visible in their body (2 Corinthians 4:11 and Philippians 1:20). God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.
OUR CULTURE & COMMUNITY
We strive to nurture a vibrant, light-shining faith culture, empowering individuals to live the "with God" life through deep connection, character transformation, and making Jesus visible in our bodies. Together, let's make the invisible kingdom a visible reality. Driven by truth and united around a single mission, The Indwelling is rising to spark a movement of spiritual awakening in Wayne County and beyond. We are not content with a passive faith or quiet religion — we are committed to cultivating deep spiritual growth and elevating the quality of life for every person in our community.
We envision a future where spiritual health becomes the heartbeat of our city — a place marked by joy, integrity, and a people shaped by the servant heart of Jesus. Our aim is nothing less than generational transformation. We are building a movement that will outlive us, a legacy of faith‑filled disciples who carry the presence of Christ into every home, every street, and every corner of this region.
THE STORY BEHIND THE NAME & LOGO
Since Brent’s conversion, he has been passionately focused on the reality that a Holy God would indwell a sinner. This union and reality, once believed, received, integrated into our daily lives, changes everything. As a result, you can live an empowered “with God” life and be transformed. God is the Gospel.
The logo was created based on 2 Corinthians 4:7, and reveals the reality that we have King Jesus (crown) as our treasure (diamond) dwelling in our broken body/vessel (jar of clay). This biblical metaphor represents our bodies as fragile “jars of clay” that hold a divine treasure of God Himself, the gospel, demonstrating the immense power that comes from God, and not from us. It highlights that despite the suffering, affliction, and temporary nature of the jar, God’s light and life shine forth, showing his power in and through us both now and for eternity.
For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. 2 Corinthians 4:6-7
