Our Name
The word "Selah" is a musical term found in the Bible that infers a pause and a reflection on what was just said. Selah is used 74 times in the Bible and is found in the book of Psalms and Habakuk.
Many times David comes to the Lord with a burdened heart and he has a moment of Selah where he pauses and reflects. His response is that of faith and hope in God who has been faithful through the years. Our desire is to create a place where we can be reminded to pause and reflect on God's word. Our desire is that people leave with great hope and bold faith.
