“We are excited to announce the beginning of an extraordinary journey that started as a dream in our hearts to be Pastors of a vibrant church passionate about the presence of God and filled with people who love God and love people,” the site reads. “We believe God gave us this dream and many prophetic words, beginning when we were young, for such a time as this.”
The site further notes that the couple was taking time to seek the Lord through rest and prayer to hear from God on what should come next.
“We are filled with anticipation, expectation, and hope as we hear from God about when, where, and how to plant a church. This journey is not just about reaching a destination but about embracing the profound experiences and growth along the way. We are confident that God is good and in control.”
Now, after this announcement, they have revealed the name of their new church plant.
According to the Christian Post, the name of the new church was shared on X.
“Thank you for praying with and for us!” The post read. “We have spent the past few weeks praying and seeking the Lord, and we feel like God has confirmed the name through multiple scriptures and people. The name is Passage Church!”
The post describes how the couple landed on the name Passage Church, first referencing the word passage as a synonym for Scripture, and as a journey from one location to another.
“Passage Church is founded on the Word of God and will be a place where people are taught the Word of God,” the post reads.
“Passage Church is on the move and filled with people pursuing God in every season. Every person’s life is filled with transitions and journeys; we will be a place that helps people no matter what stage of their journey, pointing them towards Jesus and a relationship with God.”
The couple likens their transition to Abraham’s call out of his homeland and into new territory. Right now, they are planning on having an interest meeting in October and are still looking for a location for the church to meet.
Both James and Bridgette shared posts on Instagram about the coming launch of the church with the Scripture reference of Habbakuk 2:3.
As this couple launches a new church, keep them and their family in prayer, along with all of those who call Gateway their home church during this time of transition.
