ABOUT
COLLEGE STUDENTS
In 2010 we decided to find out what would happen if we connected to college students where they live and taught them the value of intentional Christian community – infused with mentorship – and emphasized the importance of the local church, Biblical Foundations, and God’s heart and plan for the nations.
DISCIPLESHIP COMMUNITY
We’ve now housed more than 350 students from across the country, representing many different local churches. The students have been paired with more than 200 mentors, traveled to over 10 different countries, and have received countless hours of intentional discipleship.
SELF-SUSTAINABLE
The residential communities where our students live are sustainable and generous. Rental profits fund gospel-centered projects in Asia and northern Africa, helping to further church-planting movements in some of the least reached parts of the world.
To date, more than 200 projects have been funded and over $1Million has been sent overseas.
CORE VALUES
1. STEWARDSHIP “…GOD’S FAITHFUL MANAGERS…”
Psalm 90:12-17, Philippians 2:3-4
In every aspect of ministry, we strive to be humble and faithful stewards of what God has given us to do.
2. SCRIPTURE “…SCRIPTURE IS THE SOURCE OF ALL WISDOM…”
2 Timothy 3:16, Deuteronomy 6:6-7, Psalm 119:130
We desire to make decisions that are biblically grounded.
3. GOSPEL “…THE GLORY OF JESUS ABOVE ALL THINGS…”
John 1:11-12, Matthew 24:14
In everything we do and with everyone we partner, we desire for His name to be known and glorified.
4. RELATIONSHIP “…INTENTIONALITY & INTEGRITY IN RELATIONSHIPS…”
2 Thessalonians 1:11-12
We value relationships above tasks, whether with individuals or with organizations.
5. PURITY “…MORAL AND DOCTRINAL PURITY…”
Psalm 119:165, 2 Corinthians 6:3-10, Proverbs 22:11
We value authenticity in our lives and expect our organization and its member-partners to be above reproach.
