How it all started...
Our vision at The Meeting House | Muscle Shoals was born in 2017 out of a deep hunger to create a space where people could encounter the presence and power of God without limitations. We knew this couldn’t happen in borrowed spaces that weren’t built for what God was calling us to. So we spent the next two years praying—asking the Lord to show us where and how to build a place set apart for Him and for this region.
In May of 2020, through a divine connection in the business world, God opened a door. We met someone who not only believed in the vision but offered us a space right here in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. It was a clear answer to prayer.
From the moment we walked into that building, we felt it. The presence of God was already there, and we knew—this was it. This was the place. A small group of us came together, committed to preparing the space for Him. What was supposed to be a short 30–60 minute dedication turned into six and a half hours of worship. From 10 PM to 4:30 AM, heaven met earth—and we knew something had begun.
Since then, we’ve seen the prophetic words spoken over this place come to life. Worship leaders and visitors walk in and immediately recognize it—you don’t have to break through here. The atmosphere has already been prepared. God's presence is resting in this house because it’s been stewarded with prayer, obedience, and hunger.
Our focus remains on honoring God’s presence—knowing that when we do, lives are changed, hearts are marked, and people encounter the One who transforms everything.
The Meeting House is open to anyone who’s hungry to experience the move of God in Muscle Shoals. Come and see—there’s a place waiting for you..

Expanding the vision...
In 2022, we began praying for additional space. We explored buildings, gathered rental info, and considered our options. But the more we looked, the more we realized—relocation wasn’t the plan. There was something God-ordained about where we already were. We didn’t need to move—we needed to expand.
In late 2023, when the end unit of our building complex became available, we knew it was time to take action. It was a direct response to a prophetic word we had already received.
Then came a confirmation we couldn’t deny.
During the lease signing process, we faced a financial gap. It looked like we didn’t have the full amount needed—but before that night’s service could even begin, a messenger walked in with an envelope. The exact amount we lacked was inside, delivered anonymously with one simple message: “God told me to give this.” That provision—right on time—confirmed heaven’s word and cleared the path forward.
We began renovating the space right away, starting with a fellowship area where we could break bread together. But the vision was always bigger than the building.
God was calling us to reach the hopeless, the hurting, the broken—not just inside these walls, but far beyond them.
This new space will include:
- A kitchen to prepare meals for outreach
- The Scribe’s Chambers for authors and musicians to write, pray, and record
- Guest accommodations for visiting ministers
- A fellowship hall
- And a podcast studio, launching in 2025
- All connected by Revival Hall
This expansion isn’t just about square footage—it’s about obedience. About making room to serve, to GO, and to pour out love into our city. The kitchen, especially, stands as a symbol of this outward focus—serving both the house and the streets. It’s part of a divine mandate to step outside our comfort zone and into the mission field around us.
We believe this is just the beginning.

Where we are headed...
In August of 2017, Founding Pastor Brian Hunt received a divine dream of a barn filled with people, fire, and stirring winds. In this dream, he heard a clear calling to "Build Me a place that will allow Me to encounter My people. Build Me a barn." At the time, he was actively serving in ministry and was surprised by this vision. The dream reminded him of a prophetic word he had received at age 13 under the tabernacle in Ashland, VA, where Sister Ruth Ward Heflin had prayed over him. During that earlier encounter, Brian was baptized in the Holy Spirit and received a prophecy that God would move him to a small town in Northwest Alabama at age 36 for training, where he would participate in a great awakening.
Recognizing the barn vision as part of this prophecy, Brian and his mother relocated to the Shoals area and began gathering with other local congregations for prayer and worship.
In July 2020, while working as a real estate agent, Brian received what seemed like a routine call to list property but turned into a divine appointment. The property owner had a building in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, which he allowed us to renovate. We began holding services there on June 13, 2020. As the ministry grew, we gained access to more of the building, which provided space for Revival Hall with the "barn feel" we envisioned. This current location serves as a training ground, with plans to eventually purchase land and build the Glory Barn. Interestingly, in 2017, another prophet had declared that the next move of God would occur in places like barns, stating "They will say we were born in barns."
Today, The Meeting House continues to grow as we witness an increasing intensity of God's presence. The vision has become increasingly aligned with our heavenly calling: to build a barn, develop camp sites, and provide housing for visitors seeking to experience God's presence. Our ultimate goal is to host gatherings in a large barn filled with His presence, while sending teams into the streets to minister to those in need of hope. The Meeting House stands as a place of refuge from the storm, devoted to pursuing God's presence.
