What makes this ministry different?

  1. This ministry is different because we’re about relationship. We believe discipleship is personal. Therefore, we’re community-driven and relationship-driven, not numbers-driven. We want to disciple you DEEPLY, not merely on a surface level.
  2. We’re extremely transparent. We don’t try to hide behind an ivory tower, pretending we don’t live real lives. We’re real people who sometimes experience real struggles, but we have a REAL Heavenly Father who loves us (just like He loves you!) in REAL life. Furthermore, God sent His REAL Son Jesus to provide real VICTORY over all our problems, including sin, sorrow, grief, poverty, sickness, and more. So we’re very into being REAL around here. 🙂 Being real makes a difference.
  3. We’re present, accountable, and available. We are not celebrities. Our staff members, even Jamie (our Founder and CEO), carry their own luggage and lug our own backpacks. We don’t need people to “wine and dine” us. We’re here to put our hand to the plow and serve you until Jesus comes back, and every member of our team works hard every day to do that.
