I’m Charles Kiser. I live in Uptown Dallas. I am married to my best friend, Julie. I am the proud
father of a son, Ryan. We’ve teamed up with our co-workers, Ryan and Claudia Porche, two area churches and a resourcing organization to start a new church that will connect with young adults who live in the Downtown, Uptown and Oaklawn areas of Dallas. We dream that this church will release young professionals in the area to use their influence and capabilities for the purpose of participating in God’s restorative work in the city of Dallas.
We’re calling the church Storyline Christian Community.
Storyline is a word for plot. It refers to the way a story moves, the direction it’s headed. All of our lives move along a storyline. Our storylines intersect with other people’s storylines.
What if there was one storyline that overarched every single human’s personal storyline? What if there was one grand narrative that all of us were part of?
That’s exactly what we believe is going on in the world: God is weaving a storyline together out of all of our stories. And it’s up to us to choose whether or not our personal storylines intersect and merge with God’s.
The purpose of this blog is to capture the highlights of our journey in Dallas as we seek to find our place in God’s story here. The range of topics we’ll engage in this blog will be as all-encompassing as life in God. I’m sure we’ll dialogue about church, sports, food, family, politics and spirituality, among other things.
