About Dwell Ministries

A place to encounter God, receive support, grow in faith, and live with purpose.

Dwell Ministries is a Christ-centered online ministry committed to discipleship, strong families, compassionate service, and lasting community transformation.

Our story

Born in prayer. Built through obedience.

Dwell Ministries began during the global pandemic in 2020. What started as a family Zoom prayer and praise gathering grew into consistent Sunday worship, family check-ins, and spiritual encouragement.

As the ministry continued, God clarified the pastoral call on Wallace and Erin Ford. Through prayer, repentance, preparation, and the spiritual guidance of Apostle Dr. Craig Harrison and Prophetess Karen Harrison of The Inspired Word Church, they moved forward in obedience.

After more than nine years of ministry study and preparation, Dwell emerged as a sanctuary of hope, healing, and growth—a place where people can dwell in God’s presence, rest in His promises, and grow together in faith and love.

Our mission

Christ-centered ministry. Community restoration. Lasting impact.

Dwell Ministries exists to glorify God by sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ, making disciples, strengthening individuals and families, and serving communities through spiritual formation, compassionate outreach, education, mentoring, and practical support.

We create digital and, as capacity grows, physical environments where people can encounter God, receive support, access meaningful resources, develop their God-given potential, and become equipped to positively impact their families and communities.

Our vision

Restored lives and transformed communities.

We envision lives restored, families strengthened, disciples equipped, leaders developed, and communities transformed through the love and truth of Jesus Christ.

Our long-term vision is a growing network of digital and community-based ministry HUBs that help people move from crisis to stability, from stability to restoration, from restoration to purpose, and from purpose to leadership and service.

Our values

How we live the mission.

Faith

We remain rooted in God’s Word and trust Him in every season.

Love

We demonstrate the unconditional love of Jesus to every person.

Service

We follow Christ’s example through humility, generosity, and practical care.

Community

We foster genuine fellowship, unity, belonging, and mutual support.

Restoration

We believe God restores lives, families, purpose, and hope.

Integrity

We seek to lead faithfully, responsibly, and transparently for God’s glory.

The future Dwell HUB

Spiritual care and practical support under one vision.

The Dwell HUB is a developing long-term vision, not a representation that every service is currently available. As resources, partnerships, facilities, and qualified professionals become available, future HUBs may provide:

Worship & Prayer

In-person worship, biblical teaching, prayer rooms, discipleship, and pastoral care.

Family & Youth

Mentoring, family strengthening, children’s faith literacy, education, and leadership development.

Community Care

Food and basic-needs assistance, resource navigation, senior support, and trusted partnerships.

Restoration Support

Developing pathways for reentry, recovery support, housing stability, and community integration.

Work & Opportunity

Future workforce development, financial literacy, career readiness, and economic-mobility initiatives.

Wellness Resources

Health education, screenings, referrals, and partnerships delivered by qualified providers.

Current ministry: Dwell presently gathers online for Sunday Worship and Tuesday Night Prayer. Future programs will be announced only as they become active and available.
