BRANFORD, CT — September 1, 2026 - Vox Church, the Connecticut-based multi-site church led by Lead Pastor Justin Kendrick, has unveiled a new vision initiative titled “We Are Living for More,” calling its community and the broader region to respond to what the church describes as a defining moment of spiritual hunger across America. The vision, accompanied by a short film now available on the church’s website and YouTube channel, comes as Vox continues to expand its footprint across New England with a new campus coming soon to Cheshire, Connecticut.

A Movement That Has Caught the Region’s Attention

The “Living for More” initiative arrives on the heels of a WTNH News 8 special report that spotlighted a new wave of spirituality emerging across Connecticut, a report that featured Vox Church as part of that broader story. The News 8 report captured something the church itself has long believed: that New England, historically one of the least-churched regions in the nation, is experiencing a genuine spiritual stirring. People across the state, the report noted, are saying there has to be more.

For Vox Church, that moment is not simply a cultural observation. It is a call to action. The church sees the current climate of spiritual hunger as an opportunity to plant new life-giving churches, serve cities with love and faith in action, and reach people who are far from God but longing for something deeper than what culture offers.

The Vision: Community With a Purpose

At its core, the “Living for More” vision is grounded in Vox Church’s conviction that new churches are one of the most powerful tools God uses to reach new people and renew cities. New churches don’t just grow congregations, the church asserts. They bring spiritual life to communities that need hope. From South Windsor to Hartford, and across the two-state region the church now serves, Vox is believing in transformation city by city.

The vision is shaped by three core values that define Vox Church’s identity: the centrality of Jesus, intentional community, and city mission. The church believes that knowing God requires deep relationships with others, and that together, a community with purpose can impact eternity. Those values find expression not only in Sunday services but in the church’s active engagement with its cities throughout the week.

Expansion, Launch Teams, and the Just 1 Challenge

Alongside the vision rollout, Vox Church is actively recruiting campus launch team members for its upcoming Cheshire location and inviting the public to join its “Just 1 Challenge,” an initiative that encourages every person in the church to invest in the spiritual journey of just one person in their life. The church is also promoting its annual “One Day to Change the World” outreach event, which mobilizes volunteers across all campuses for a single day of community service.
