Before Lewis met Danae, he was recruited to help launch a church in Niles, MI. Lewis decided to help & found himself deeply involved in the work of the church. In early 2016, the Church decided to partner with Relevant Church in Riverside, CA & thus changed its name from Freedom Church to Relevant Church, Niles. Flyers were mailed out to the Niles community to announce this new church plant becoming Relevant. It just so happened that Danae's roommate received one of those flyers & was interested to check it out since she was looking for a church. Although Danae was attending a different church at the time, she decided to go with her roommate. The church felt like home as Danae and her roommate continued to attend Relevant Church throughout the spring time. They even started attending the young adults small group where Lewis happened to be the leader. This is where Danae & Lewis started to get to know each other, but neither of them showed much interest in each other at first. This is because Danae was in a relationship with someone else at the time. But in June, that relationship ended & Danae was left a little broken hearted but confident she was meant to become more involved at Relevant Church. Later in the summer it was made mention to Danae and Lewis that there was an opportunity to take a trip to the 316 Conference at Relevant Riverside, Ca. Danae & Lewis both decided to go. So on August 19th, 2016 Danae & Lewis were headed to the airport together. This trip allowed Danae & Lewis to get to know each other deeply & it was the first time either of them showed interest in one another. After they arrived back to Niles, they started spending a lot of time together. Lewis would go to Danae's hockey games & Danae would support Lewis at his softball games. It wasn't until Sept. 6th, 2016 (following a labor day party at Lewis's house) that Danae & Lewis decided to make their relationship official. And the rest is history!
