Who We Are

We’re Mark and Amy Wiersma. And these are our three boys — aren’t they cute?

 
We live in Northern California and love to take Jesus at His word. We are passionate Jesus followers, love His Word and His voice to us. We are passionate about sharing the things God opens our eyes to in the Bible, and seeing believers walk into real, intimate friendship with the living God.


We are writers, dreamers, community builders, faith-inspirers and hope-bringers. When we’re not here you’ll find us traipsing around with our three boys, hiking, exploring, and finding adventures… preferably with coffee in hand! We love hosting family and friends, finding the dreams God put in people’s hearts, wrangling kids, writing music, working together, and Thursday mornings… because it’s when the garbage truck comes! :)


We pray here you find the Presence of God.

How we got here?

We both grew up in Christian homes, grew up loving Jesus and gave our lives to Him at young ages. Somehow, Amy from Oregon and Mark from Wisconsin, both made our way to Bible College in the prairies of Canada. We knew God was real and we were passionate about serving Him, but we knew God as more of a concept, not a real, living, interacting God. In fall 2014 God showed up and changed our lives forever. We discovered He was real, loves to interact with us, and is still on the move!

About Mark

Mark is a husband to his best friend (Amy ;) ), and a dad to 3 amazing boys: Judah, Elias, and Kaden. 


He has a high value for family and for crafting a new killer dad joke. 


He loves grabbing a coffee and exploring all things outdoors, laughing until there are tears, and having good conversation with friends close enough to call family! 


When he’s not busy growing out his beard, you can find Mark enjoying Amy’s baking, preaching to her about the Scripture he just read, telling Jesus stories (especially to his boys), or writing music.


You can find Mark’s songwriting HERE!
