On Friday August 24th at 6:30pm we will be showing the movie “I Can Only Imagine” at Highview.
With over 2.5 million copies sold, “I Can Only Imagine” is the best selling Christian song of all time. Many people are familiar with this song, but what they aren’t familiar with is the powerful story of Bart Millard—the writer of the song and the lead singer of MercyMe.
Although he found faith at a young age, life wasn’t easy for Bart. He leaned into an active imagination and his love of music as escapes from a troubled home life. As he grew older, Bart turned to football in hopes of somehow connecting with his abusive father. But a career-ending injury—combined with the vision of a teacher who saw unlimited potential—set Bart on a musical pathway.
Chasing a dream while running from broken relationships with his father and Shannon, his childhood sweetheart, Bart hits the road in an old, decrepit tour bus with his new band MercyMe—named for his grandmother’s favorite expression. With the guidance of a grizzled music-industry insider, the band begins a journey none of them could ever have imagined.
A gripping reminder of the power of forgiveness, I CAN ONLY IMAGINE beautifully illustrates that no one is ever too far from God’s love—or from an eternal home in Heaven. Invite a friend and come join us!
