I believe in a tameless God, with a spirit like the wind calling a people to places unchartered and new.
I believe in a people who have wandered away from safe places to find this God in the wild.
I believe in the church they’re building where the new kingdom meets ancient soil.
I believe in a revelation that doesn’t end at the chapel walls, one that isn’t reserved for eternity.
When I was a teenager, I studied theology at my small Catholic school in a chapel with stained glass windows and wooden pews lined with red cushioned seats. It was my favorite class.
In that chapel, we discussed the history, tradition, and experiences of the people of this particular faith as they lived out their devotion to God through the centuries. What I loved most about Theology was knowing I would never be able to reach the end of the study of God.
Until I had.
I looked to the spiritual writers and teachers I had grown to admire for deeper revelations of God only to find the discussions remained the same. Books I read back in my stained glass chapel were the same books I was pointed to more than a decade later— and if it wasn’t the same exact book it was the same concept with a slightly different spin. Essentially, they had God figured out.
And if you have God figured out, it’s not God.
He is a Living God and His Word is a Living Word.
Glass Chapel was born from my decision to step outside the stained glass chapel of my youth and find God in the wild — where He always was.

About me.
I’m Jessica Ferraro DiCicco. I live in the “Small Wonder” state —that’s Delaware— with my husband and son. I left Catholicism to worship God at an Acts 2 home church started by friends.
