Introducing adolescents to Jesus Christ and helping them grow in their faith. We accomplish our mission by: Praying for young people, going where kids are, building personal relationships with them, winning the right to be heard, providing experiences that are fun, adventurous and life-changing, sharing our lives and the Good News of Jesus Christ with adolescents, inviting them to personally respond to this Good News, loving them regardless of their response, nurturing kids so they might grow in their love for Christ and the knowledge of God’s Word and become people who can share their faith with others, helping young people develop the skills, assets and attitudes to reach their full God-given potential, encouraging kids to live connected to the Body of Christ by being an active member of a local congregation, and working with a team of like-minded individuals – volunteer leader, committee members, donors and staff.HEALTHCARE & RELIEF

One of our designs was re-named, “The Sisterhood Ring”, in honor of a dear customer who unfortunately lost her battle with cancer. Read the full story.
