When People Run to Church, They Are Running to God
When people experience trauma, danger, or profound loss, they often run toward God. And because God can feel distant or intangible in moments of crisis, they run toward the place that represents Him most visibly in their lives: the church.

It is rooted in expectation — the expectation that the church will act as a living expression of God’s compassion, not merely a provider of spiritual content.

DCN Investigates Stonebriar Church
DCN Investigates: Stonebriar Church is an ongoing, survivor-led investigative series documenting allegations of trafficking, misconduct, and institutional failure connected to Stonebriar Community Church in Frisco, Texas.
