How we live out our mission

Engage

Meeting young parents where they are at; supporting them through physical resources; providing a safe space for them to interact with caring, supportive adults; sharing the love of Jesus in simple ways; starting the process of helping them build a supportive community around them.

Encourage

Being a positive role model and speaking into young parents and families based on their strengths; building on that foundation for them to find strength to grow as a person and a parent; walking with them on their journey so they know they are not alone; sharing the hope of Jesus in simple ways; continuing to build a supportive community around them.

Equip

Supporting through physical resources; provide opportunities for learning life-skills; parenting classes; personal and group mentoring to walk through life’s challenges and grow from them, learning healthy resilience; sharing the truth of Jesus; continuing to build a supportive community with them.

Empower

Building on their strengths; supporting them as they grow and develop both as parents and individuals, learning to weather life’s storms with resilience and strength; choosing their own paths for their family’s success in life; sharing the strength of Jesus; continuing to build a supportive community with them; helping them to understand they can be a transformative presence in their own families and communities.
