At Broken To Build, we believe the authenticity of our stories is not only what connects us, but oftentimes, those broken pieces can be a beautiful part of our journey that equip us to do what God has destined for us in the future. People don’t need more “perky Christianity”; we need something real and authentic. Together we embrace the tension of our brokenness while living in the hope of a greater plan. Our goal is to let Christianity influence culture beyond the church walls, creating a safe place to be real.
