Nationally

In my opinion, San Diego might be the coolest city in the world. Between it’s perfect (and I mean perfect) weather, it’s great surfing scene, and it’s laid back culture, there is a lot that can be said for San Diego.

But that is not why we made our yearly trek to this great city. We go because we believe in what Jason and his team are doing there. Jason and his team have a vision to see the kingdom of God become more and more of a reality in their city.

Jason grew in San Diego and knows the city and the people well. And one night, after talking with some of his closest friends in their kitchen, they started dreaming about what a Gospel-centered church would like in San Diego.

Someone started to clean the sliding glass door. Another person pulled the cap off of a dry erase marker. Their conversation erupted and transformed from simple words into powerful intent. They began to write down what a church would look like with them in it; with their unconventional appearances; the abstract artists and writers, producers and engineers, singers and musicians, graphic designers and urban fashionistas. The melting pot of culture: Latin, black, white, and Asian. People of different backgrounds who care about the world and the community we live in. The married and divorced, the single moms and proactive dads. The people with blue and white collars, kids with dreams yet to discover and the seniors that society wants to forget. The people who reflect the beauty and diversity of our city, who love God, love the church, and who are just as lost as everyone else. Us, the people with Pagan, Catholic, Pentecostal, Calvary Chapel, Baptist, and other roots that are all on the same spiritual journey together.

Ideas turned into dreams. Dreams turned into convictions. And that night Ethos Church was born.

When we met Jason and heard their story, we knew immediately that we wanted to partner with them. Our goal is to create an ongoing partnership with them, sending teams down to San Diego and serving both their church and their city in whatever way we can.
