About Belonging House

Belonging House is an international fellowship of artists and creative people called to build a throne for Jesus in the earth. We are committed to making disciples in the arts.

Christ (rhymes with "wrist") John Otto is an author, independent scholar, and the spiritual leader of Belonging House. 

He holds degrees in Bible and Christian Education from Houghton College, and completed his Master of Divinity degree at Asbury Theological Seminary. He is the author of twelve books aimed at giving Christian artists the big ideas they need to overcome as disciples in the arts.

Since 2006 Otto has lived a life of radical faith, and lives a simple life teaching artists and creative people how to listen to God and do what he tells you.
