Declare

10/08/2026

We were encouraged today as we met with the recipients of the Unify Dayton Fund. Each partner shared testimonies of the impact that they are making, and were reminded that good things are happening across the Miami Valley! We are grateful for each of these ministries and their faithfulness to the work and people that God has called them to.

Please join us in praying for each of them as they continue their work of love and service. We are thankful to partner with Miami Valley Leadership Foundation in this process, and to Kettering Health for providing the funding and support!

The first Declare Dayton event was 10 years ago today. It is humbling reflecting on that original vision to see UD Arena filled because Jesus is worth it and especially meaningful that we were back there again this May!

We had no idea what we were doing and made plenty of mistakes along the way--but God has been faithful. 10 years later, we are still helping churches worship and serve together to declare God's glory.

Thank you to everyone who has made this journey possible. We have learned over and over again that this isn't up to us--we can truly trust in the Lord and simply do our part as we join in His vision for a united Church.

We look forward to seeing what God has in the days and years to come. We trust He will continue to prove Himself faithful. To God be all the glory!

So thankful to hear prayers lifted and voices raised in unity to the Father. Thank you Jesus for bringing your Church together in Miami County!

Thank you to Pastor Aaron and Pastor Josh at Upper Room Worship Center for offering their church space for us to use and working to make it happen on such short notice. 👌🏼
