Our Mission & Vision

We exist to ignite purpose, awaken faith, and lead people into the transforming presence of God.

Ignite Church is being formed for those standing between yesterday and tomorrow, people who feel the nudge that there must be more. Whether you are one of the 8.5 million people who call the DFW Metroplex home or you are looking for a fresh start, Ignite Church is being built for individuals and families, creatives and builders, entrepreneurs, and those searching for community who sense that God is opening doors and inviting them to say yes.

We are building a multicultural, multi-generational faith family where God’s presence matters, gifts are activated, and families are strengthened. Ignite Church is a place where faith moves beyond Sundays and into everyday life, creating space to grow, to serve, to build, and to walk together as God does something new among us.

Our Leaders

Joseph & Talisha Anthony

Joseph and Talisha Anthony have been married for nearly ten years and are the proud parents of three children—Zachary, Nathan, and Jade.

Joseph brings a unique blend of pastoral leadership, creativity, and public health insight to the work of the Church. His background in ministry, preaching, music, and public health, including a Master of Public Health from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, shapes Ignite’s commitment to spiritual, emotional, and community wholeness. His leadership is marked by consistency, discernment, and a steady obedience to God’s call.

Talisha is an elementary school administrator with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a Master of Arts in Religion from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. Her passion for women’s empowerment, education, child development, and family systems informs Ignite’s heart for the next generation and for building healthy, thriving families.

The two met while singing in the gospel choir at Alabama A&M University. #GoBulldogs

After much prayer and a simple yes, Joseph and Talisha are stepping forward in obedience to plant Ignite Church, trusting God to breathe life into what He has already placed within His people.

Our Story

How Ignite Came To Be

Call to Action

How Can You Stand with Us?

1

Prayer

Stand with us spiritually.

Cover Ignite Church in prayer. Intercede for wisdom, unity, and clarity as God forms this community. Pray for the families we will serve, the leaders we will raise, and the spaces we will settle in. We believe prayer is not preparation for the work — it is the work.

2

Partnership

Stand with us relationally.

Ignite Church is being formed through prayer, discernment, and intentional leadership. Partnership is an invitation to walk together as we shape the culture, values, and the identity of this new faith community. Let's build a church that reflects God’s heart for people and community. There is space for you to belong, to contribute meaningfully, and to grow as we build what God is igniting.

3

Provision

Sow into what God is building.

Your generosity supports the work of planting Ignite Church and helps create space for people, families, and communities to grow. Giving allows us to move forward with purpose as God continues to ignite what’s next.

Our Foundation

For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you...
