COMMUNITY

COLLECTIVE

CONVERGENCE

Every scar has a story, and every story carries redemptive power. We embrace the raw, messy process of growing together into the purposes and plans of God.

God did not call for us to live in a bubble, but to be a light to a hurting world. We have a deliberate focus on meeting the physical and spiritual needs of those who Jesus calls our neighbors.

We serve an amazing God with many facets. We seek to merge those facets into creative and innovative ways of experiencing His presence.

the leaders

Our story began with a shared love for words, in the pages of poetry at an international club back in 2004. Christina—a driven career woman, devoted mother to a young son, with music always in her soul—met Chris, who was working to pay the bills but never let go of his dream to one day become an author.

In 2006, we said “yes” to a lifetime of adventure together. Since then, our journey has taken us across the United States and Mexico, fueled by a calling to ignite faith, foster connection, and build family wherever we go. From running camps and leading ministries to creating spaces where people can belong, we’ve learned that the brightest communities are built from shared stories and kindled hearts.

We can’t wait to meet you, share a story or a song, and welcome you into the Ember family. Let’s build something beautiful together.

With love and anticipation,
Chris & Christina Aguilar
