Our Story

Passion Church was birthed from a God-moment in 2018 at the Sacré-Cœur in Paris. Standing before the world’s largest mosaic—a picture of Jesus with arms wide open and a burning heart—I had a fresh revelation of His Passion for me and for the world. Out of that moment came the call to plant a church that carries His heart.
 
Five years later, that seed of faith has become Passion Church AKL.

Our mission is simple — to see the Passion of Jesus fill our hearts, our homes, and our world.

Passion is our name and Passion is our vision.
​
We’re building a church that’s alive with God’s presence, vibrant in community, and committed to living on mission. For us, church isn’t the end goal—it’s the locker room where we’re equipped to take His love and Passion into the world.
