Who We Are

Our Mission

Encounter Jesus, find belonging, and live with wholehearted devotion in the spaces we create for young adults.

What We Value

Belong first – You belong here before you have it all figured out.

Wholehearted Devotion – We follow Jesus with everything we’ve got — honest, passionate, and real.

Family on Mission – We lead, serve, and show up for each other like family.

Create and Cultivate – We create spaces, moments, and communities that help others meet Jesus.
