faithfully building together

We believe this property is more than land. It is an opportunity to create a place where the gospel will be proclaimed, disciples will be made, and lives will be transformed for generations to come. As we move forward together, this page will keep you updated on our progress and provide tangible ways for you to pray, serve, and invest in what God is doing.

If you have skills (or just want to learn them) to help, this is a place we will keep updated with current tasks.
