Kyle Houlton and his family are moving here to lead a church plant (Lord willing) in Santa Ana. You can read about it here. Hopefully you met him and his wife Kelsey last Sunday at church. They were scouting out the city.

Two great updates. They located housing (The Artist Village Apartments) and our denomination has sent us $10,000 to help defray costs associated with this initiative. Wow!

One big prayer request.

Kyle is still seeking employment. Please pray. You can email him directly if you have any leads. We do not have plans to employ him at this time and he has a family to support while starting our work in Santa Ana. Let's ask God to give Kyle the right job...right now. :)

The clock is ticking.

Kyle and Kesley Houlton and their 3 boys are planning to relocate to Orange on July 1st. It's a bold move. You can read about it here.

As we make preparations, two big prayer requests have surfaced: housing and employment. We want them to land in a neighborhood that has a probability of becoming the site of a future church. We also want them to be able to support themselves. We do not intend to employ Kyle...he is transitioning to bi-vocational ministry.

Would you please join us in prayer?

1. Full-time employment - 40 hours with sufficient pay to support his family.
2. A Home in Santa Ana - near downtown Santa Ana with room for 5 people and a base for hospitality.

Kyle and Kelsey Houlton

This past Sunday we announced a plan to relocate the Houlton family to Orange, CA for the purpose of planting a church in Santa Ana. Kyle serves as a pastor of a sister church in Tucson, AZ.

He has a burden to church plant with us. We have an ambition to establish neighborhood churches throughout Orange County. God is answering all of our prayers.

There are more details coming soon. We want you to be informed so you can pray and participate.  For now, let's begin with an introduction...

Greetings from the Houlton family!

God is on the move and this time it includes us. We can't believe it. Our family is leaving a church we love in Tucson to partner with you in Orange.

We see God at work among you and believe He is going to continue to use you (and now us) to see more Californians saved and churches prosper.  Like you, we love our Savior, Jesus Christ. It’s all worth it because of who He is and what He's done.

We also love our shared mission together. We love your passion. We love your vision to build a family of churches in Orange County. We are eager to greet all of you and join you in this great work. Thank you for receiving us. It's an honor.

Until then, we would appreciate your prayers. The next few months will be filled with many decisions and goodbyes.

See you in July.
