Launching Fall of 2025
an·thol·o·gy
a collection of stories written by one author
Anthology Church is a new church plant located in Charles Town, WV
An anthology is a collection of stories gathered by one editor. We believe the greatest story that has ever been told is God’s story. With God there is always a better ‘more to the story.’
At Anthology Church, we will be a collection of people that openly share their stories of ups and downs as we pursue Jesus to find the hope in that ‘there is more to the story.’
— HOW WE GOT HERE
The Back Story
In 2017, I joined a CrossFit gym to get a good workout and relieve some stress. Soon, I formed deep friendships, and our conversations shifted to more meaningful topics like life, parenting, and work. I found that many people in the gym came to me for advice, and I often pointed them to Biblical wisdom.
It became evident that they were striving to improve their lives but lacked the guidance to do so, and many had never encountered Scripture in a way that was both practical and understandable. I discovered how much I loved sharing the message of Jesus in ways that resonated with others.
In 2023, a message from a preacher deeply impacted me: “Every community deserves a life-giving church.” This challenge stirred my heart, and after sharing it with my wife, we began praying about how God could use us to make this vision a reality. Our prayers led us to Charles Town, a rapidly growing city filled with young families seeking hope and guidance.
We believe the best place to find that hope is in the church, where people can experience the “more to your story” that Jesus offers.

— WHY WE’RE PLANTING IN
Charles Town, WV
Charles Town is a rapidly growing city just outside the Washington, DC metro area. Charles Town is known for its rich history, authenticity, beautiful scenery, and outdoor adventures! Since the 2020 census, Charles Town has experienced a 23.41% growth rate. Many families are relocating here to appreciate the small-town atmosphere while working in the bustling areas surrounding this great city.
— WE NEED YOU
How You Can Partner With Us
Give
Starting a healthy church takes funding and we need your help because Anthology Church will not succeed without the financial support of churches who are committed to seeking and saving the lost. We are currently 100% dependent on outside giving until we begin regular services.
We have partnered with PushPay and our friends at WayPoint to provide a safe and secure way for you to give online and help support the mission of Anthology Church.
Prayer
We believe that none of this is possible without the prayers of faithful men and women. We plan to start with prayer and move as God responds. We invite you to become a part of our prayer team. This means making a commitment to pray for us weekly and getting monthly updates about Anthology and our team.
To partner with us, simply sign up by clicking the link below and filling out the online form. This will allow you to recieve updates and be made aware of specific things you can be praying for.
Join the Team
We need to build a team that will serve alongside us and we would love for you to join us on this mission. I know it sounds crazy to get up and move to a new city to start a church but I can guarantee that it will be more exciting than anything you could ever imagine! If you are interested in joining the launch team, serving in an internship, or serving on Sunday mornings.
