Doxology
Oct 6 - 8, 2025 / Holland, MI
>>> Registration for Doxology 2025 will go live on Wednesday, january 15.
a Gathering where we humbly fix our attention and our hope on God.
Doxology is a posture of wonder, gratitude, and awe. Doxology is how we fix our heart and hope on God. In a cacophonous age overrun by ego and animosity, we hope to nurture humility, joy, contemplation–and even a bit of holy belligerence–amid all the dehumanizing forces suffocating the delight of being God’s beloved people in God’s astounding world. Since our time together will be about God, this means our days will of course also be about beauty, faithfulness, and friendship.
Doxology is a gathering for pastors and artists, for carpenters and teachers, business owners and stay-at-home parents (for all of us), who long for the simple, sacred life that flows from the Father, the Son, and the Spirit.
To honor our intentions for relational connection and a contemplative pace, space will be limited.

O God, whom saints and angels delight to worship in heaven: Be ever present with your servants who seek through art and music to perfect the praises offered by your people on earth; and grant to them even now glimpses of your beauty, and make them worthy at length to behold it unveiled for evermore; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. (from the BCP)
Photographer & artist
Asher Imitiaz
Asher Imitiaz was born in Pakistan to a family belonging to a small religious minority, he moved to the American Midwest in 2012. My photography-based work, informed by this past, focuses on minorities and people living under societal pressure. My aim is to give those whom we consider as “other” a voice and a story. Imtiaz’s early bodies of work document the religious minority groups of his home country. A recent immigrant himself, Imtiaz moved to the United States in 2012 for graduate studies, providing him with an empathetic understanding of the uncertainty that comes with living abroad. Since 2016, Asher have focused on developing relationships with recent refugees and asylum seekers, building trust that leads to creating intimate portraits of them. Initially starting in Milwaukee, his work now extends to several other states throughout the country.

Jon Guerra

With a penchant for thought-provoking lyrics, innovative instrumentation and pleading vocals regularly wrapped around an entrancing, worshipful undercurrent, Jon Guerra is steadily being recognized as one of today’s most gifted, intellectual and groundbreaking singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalists. While diligently studying Bob Dylan, Rich Mullins, Sufjan Stevens and Rufus Wainwright, along with influential poets Emily Dickinson and George Herbert, Guerra essentially spent his entire artistic journey switching between local band and solo life.
