Dream City Church, church in Az., United States
Dream City Church is a Pentecostal megachurch in Phoenix, Arizona, affiliated with the Assemblies of God USA. Its sanctuary has second- and third-level balconies around most of the auditorium's circumference, and the building also holds an elevator, a cafe, a bookstore and a Prayer Pavilion. The flat-floored stage faces tiered seating that rises toward the back of the hall.
Founded in 1923 as Phoenix First Assembly, the church took its current name in 2015, the same year it became multi-site with a Scottsdale campus. Tommy Barnett led from 1979 to 2011, when his son Luke succeeded him; weekly attendance rose from 10,000 in 2011 to 22,500 in 2013. In February 2016 the Lutheran Community Church of Joy in Glendale merged with it, and by 2021 it had eight campuses.
The Dream Center, founded by the church in Los Angeles in 1994, gave the congregation its name: Dream City Church was adopted in 2015. The organization runs a food bank and clothing programs for prisoners and for victims of natural disasters, domestic violence, drug addiction and human trafficking, and by 2020 it counted 84 centers in other cities and countries.
