THE VISION
We see 500 spiritual parents raised up over the next 5 years, empowered to live fully alive as mature Christ-followers, multiplying their influence by walking alongside others to become Christ-centered and whole.
We see people becoming followers of Jesus by being made new in Jesus, finding freedom that is rooted in their identity in Jesus, discovering their God-given purpose, and living fully to multiply other Jesus followers.
As children of God we are first found by the Father, then formed in a family. As a family we grow towards Christ-centeredness through mentoring relationships, celebrating milestones, and moving towards markers in becoming more like Jesus.
There is always a next step for you in Jesus!

Being Made New is when spiritual orphans become sons & daughters of God. Through surrendering your life to Jesus, you receive a new Christ-centered identity!
