COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT:
We value our community and want to see it thrive continuously. For this to come to fruition, we feel it is important to create a compelling alternative community that offers goal-setting, accountability, discipleship, and healthy community relationships. When personal development isn’t put on display, highlighted, or presented as achievable, young adults miss the opportunity to mature and blossom into Christ-following, independent, community leaders, and often turn to negative outlets.
