About Known By Name

known by name is for anyone who has ever felt like they do not quite fit. At church. In their friend group. Or even in their own skin.

We know what it feels like to wrestle with doubt, shame, anger, addiction, or the quiet voice that says you are not enough. We know what it’s like to wake up to realities you didn’t choose. Realities like financial strain, unanswered prayers, diagnoses that change everything, waiting seasons that stretch long and heavy. We also know what it is like to discover that Jesus meets us right there, not after we have fixed everything, but in the middle of it.

Our heart is simple: We want every young adult and person to know they are seen, deeply loved, and never forgotten. Through Jesus Christ, healing is real. Belonging is real. And you do not have to walk through life alone.

Through live concerts, honest music, meaningful conversations, and social content we strive to serve as a reminder that God is still working in your story, and He is cheering for you.
