About This Project
We are an outdoor ministry that uses nature to facilitate a healthy and safe space for vulnerable young adults to discuss topics about identity, purpose and faith through the lens of scripture. We recognized that the demographic of 19 to 24-year-olds have few resources, and are entrenched in negative and unhealthy communities. We want to offer an alternative direction that will lead to hope for a different future.
Our mission is to cultivate a healthy community using diverse intergenerational relationships focussed on loving the next generation and empowering them using team challenges and leadership opportunities. We also want to assist them in recognizing their identity by encouraging them to see their value in the eyes of Christ by celebrating their successes as well as the successes of others. Finally, to forge a faith by maintaining an intentional and consistent
presence so that they may feel seen and known facilitating discussions about God and his love for them. The ministry will consist of three fundamental pieces. The three fundamental pieces we use to do that is through outdoor excursions, intentional investment and intergenerational relationships. The first creates a space to allow the other two pieces to function effectively.
