We live and walk in relationship with at-risk kids and single moms by opening our porch and home to provide a safe, stable and Christ-centered environment and example. We seek to “stand in the gap” to help provide for the spoken and unspoken needs that are not being met at home or through social services. We believe that impact begins with relationship so we intentionally seek to provide regular social and teachable opportunities to develop community with the kids and moms we hope to positively impact by sharing the love of Christ.
