Worlds We've
Loved

The homes we once logged into, and the love that outlived every one.

Some of the rooms where this church grew up are dark now. Servers were shut down. Platforms moved on. A few of these worlds do not exist at all anymore. This page is for them, and for the strangers who became family inside them.

Three worlds. Thousands of nights. One church that kept finding a way to gather.

AltspaceVR

Where it all began.
First Sanctuary The VR Church community gathered in AltspaceVR

In 2016, a pastor walked into a low-poly world built for hanging out and decided to hold church there instead. AltspaceVR became our first sanctuary: blocky avatars, a prayer path beneath a pixel sky, strangers from across the planet standing in one room for the very first time.

When Microsoft closed AltspaceVR in March of 2023, it took the building but not the family. By then we had already learned the thing it came to teach us. A church was never the room. It was the people inside it.

The lights went out on the first home we ever had. The home itself came with us.

Rust

A chapel in the wasteland.
Nothing Can Separate Us A packed worship gathering in Rust with Romans 8 on the walls

Rust is a brutal survival game, a place of raiding and ruin, and somehow that is exactly where we built a church. Wooden walls. A neon cross. Scripture glowing on the inside while the wasteland howled outside the door.

People who showed up to fight stayed to pray. For a season, the harshest world we ever entered became one of the kindest, and it proved something we needed to see: grace can grow anywhere, even here.

A cross of light on a survival server. Everyone welcome. Donations welcome.

Rec Room

Cathedrals made of color.
Joy, Taken Seriously The Rec Room community under a rainbow balloon arch

Rec Room was loud, bright, and gloriously playful. Balloon arches and costume Sundays. Classes where volunteers learned to build entire worlds out of nothing, then turned around and taught others to do the same.

Our builders raised gardens and cathedrals and Easter mornings inside it. It was a place that took joy seriously, and it reminded us that worship can look a lot like wonder.

Cathedrals made of color, built by people who just wanted to make something beautiful for God.

These rooms are
quiet now.

The servers moved on, the avatars logged off, and some of these worlds are gone for good. But nothing we built in them was wasted. Every single world taught us the same quiet truth, and we carried it into the next one: the church was never the platform. It was always the people, and the love that gathered them. The doors are still open. They just have new addresses now.
