A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE MOVEMENT

About Renaissance Movement

The Renaissance Movement encompasses multiple areas, but at the center of it all is ministering to the heart of God through worship, prayer, the proclamation of the Gospel, and living our lives fully devoted to Him. Worship is incorporated in everything we do, from Homes to Prayer Altars, Encounters to Pop up Altars and everything in between; it’s an integral part of who we are and what we do.

Along with this, we strive to make disciples of Jesus and ready His bride, which happens in various forms. Ultimately, we are a group of followers of Jesus who love Him and live to make Him known to the world around us!

MEET OUR LEADERSHIP

Andres & Bethany Lizama

Elder & Lead Pastors

Andres and Bethany Lizama are lovers of Jesus who want to see the world come to know Him! They live in Baltimore city and have been married for almost 13 years, and they have a 2-year-old son named Samuel. God gave them a vision for Renaissance in 2014, and after 4 years of prayerful waiting, in 2018, the Lord released them to begin the journey of birthing Renaissance. Andres’ and Bethany’s heart is to minister to the heart of God through worship and to create opportunities for people to encounter Jesus both within and outside of the church, knowing that His presence changes everything. Their desire is to see everyone walk in the fullness of what God has called them to.

As well, they have the heart to expand the kingdom of God through partnerships with other churches in the area of worship ministry and leadership. They see it as their greatest honor to partner up with what God is doing in this hour in Baltimore city and beyond.
