Plan A Visit

Resonate was born out of longing, healing, and a hopeful vision for what church could be.

After a year-long sabbatical from vocational ministry, Nick Vuicich found himself in a season of deep rest and rediscovery. He dove into classic Christian spirituality and formation—ancient practices that awakened something new and thrilling in him. Around that same time, he read a book about why people leave the church, and he recognized himself in those pages. It sparked a desire to build a church for people like that—for people like him—a place for those carrying doubts, hurts, questions, or simply a sense that faith had passed them by. Beginning in late 2016, God began whispering the idea of a church plant to Nick and Kathryn. They were reluctant at first (because who wouldn’t be?). But after months of prayer and wise counsel, their resistance slowly turned into courage. On a trip to New Braunfels, as they drove through Austin, they experienced a spiritual moment—a spark cast, a fire kindled, and a church seeded.

The Living Room Years

The Living Room Years

Resonate began in July 2017 in the Vuicichs’ living room in Meridian, near Circle C. It started under the name Wine & Jesus, which soon became Dinner Church. The vision was simple: recreate the kind of table Jesus sat around in the Gospels—full of food, wine, friendship, and honest conversation. Dinner Church was built on the belief that doubt, disagreement, and real questions weren’t obstacles to faith—they were critical parts of the journey. Together, we shared meals, explored Scripture, talked deeply about the things that mattered, and prayed bold prayers. Through it all, a community was quietly being formed.

A Church for the Unchurched and Dechurched

A Church for the Unchurched and Dechurched

Resonate officially launched in February 2019, with more than 75% of the community coming from unchurched or dechurched backgrounds. That mattered deeply then, and it still does now. From day one, Resonate longed to see the love of Jesus come to life—not just for church-goers, but for anyone on the spiritual margins.

We met at Baldwin Elementary until March 2020, when COVID changed everything. Like many churches, we moved online and did our best to bring hope and light into a very dark season. That same year, we moved into our current location—a former mechanic’s shop that had once housed two churches before us. With hard work, creativity, and a lot of elbow grease, the once oil-stained warehouse was transformed into the warm, beautiful sanctuary we call home today.

Growing in Faith and Family

In 2021, Trey joined staff as our second staff member, bringing leadership, creativity, and a fresh spark that helped rebuild and reimagine our children’s ministry as families returned from pandemic isolation. And the story hasn’t slowed down. In 2025, Resonate added four new staff members—an unmistakable sign of God’s continued blessing and the growing ministry happening here.

Seven Years in... and Still Just Getting Started

Seven Years in... and Still Just Getting Started

Over the past eight years, Resonate has grown from a living-room dream into a flourishing church family. We’ve celebrated births, baptisms, and countless stories of people discovering—or rediscovering—the love of Jesus. Year after year, we’re seeing lives change, friendships deepen, and a community shaped by grace, hope, and belonging. We can’t wait to see what God has in store next.
