Declare Dayton Unites the Church in Worship

On Saturday, July 19, the heart of downtown Dayton was alive with worship, community, and celebration as Riverscape MetroPark hosted Declare Dayton. This annual gathering, supported by Christian Life Center, brought together over 700 believers representing more than 40 churches, nonprofits, and community organizations. Declare exists to remind the Miami Valley that in a world of division, the collective Church can shine as a source of hope, healing, and restoration. The evening featured powerful worship, inspiring messages, and the joyful presence of local vendors and food trucks, creating a space where faith and community came together in a tangible way. Despite stormy weather, the night was marked by transformation. Twenty individuals made first-time decisions for Christ or recommitted their lives to Him. With a $4,100 Above and Beyond investment, Christian Life Center helped ensure Declare Dayton remained a vibrant, debt-free celebration of unity, faith, and the unchanging love of Jesus.
