We exist so that youth in under-resourced communities will experience the love of Christ and flourish for generations to come.
OUR VALUES
Relationships
The only way to truly understand the needs of an individual or a community is through trusted friendships formed over time. All of our ministries rely heavily upon relationships as we pursue holistic transformation in the lives and communities where we serve.
Dignity
We want to honor the worth and value of every person we serve because we believe everyone has been made in God’s image. Dignity is a gift from God etched in our DNA. We want that conviction to be reinforced in every part of our ministry.
Empowerment
As people made in God’s image, we are all full of God-given potential. We were made with the incredible capacity to create, serve, and change the world. All true transformation takes place when we discover and lean into that reality!
Justice
We acknowledge the sobering reality that our country’s history is marked by injustice both personally and structurally. We recognize that the individuals and communities we serve did not become under-resourced in a vacuum. We are committed to pursuing just social structures that uphold the transformation taking place in the lives of individuals we serve.
Leadership Development
"Those closest to the problem are closest to the solution, but furthest from the resources.” This is not original to us, but we’ve gladly adopted it. Leadership development is the cornerstone of all sustainable ministry. We are raising up leaders from the communities we serve, equipping, and elevating them to join the mission with us.
