Our Vision

Move Closer is made possible by many platform leaders and content contributors who believe in empowering this generation to make disciples. This project is driven by The Table Coalition and Pulse, two ministries dedicated to bringing people together to advance the Gospel through evangelism and discipleship efforts. We believe in the power of simple multiplication and desire to see more people moving closer to God and one another through the Move Closer app.

It's cool to see more kids after Pulse be more involved in church as well as the community.

The Move platform has been huge in the growth process of my spiritual journey these last few months.
- Tanner
Before Pulse, my faith with God had been shaky and unsure.... I remember feeling so overwhelmed with joy during Pulse that I wanted to cry.
- Megan
Going to the Pulse event allowed me to meet Jesus once again in my life.
- Event Attendee
After the event was over and still today, I think back about how it was a good time to evaluate my walk with God, and what changes I needed to make.
