Our model
Friendship
The first movement of our model begins not with a program, but with presence. Many of the people we meet have been overlooked, misunderstood, or cast aside—not just by society, but sometimes by their families, and even the Church. Before we ask anything of them, we simply show up. We build consistent, low-barrier spaces where people are seen, heard, and honored. Community centers, shared meals, casual conversations on the street—these become sacred ground where trust is slowly earned. And from this foundation of friendship, people begin to believe something new about themselves: that they are worth loving, worth knowing, and worth walking with. Change doesn’t start with pressure, it starts with belonging.
“It starts by showing up.”
Formation
Once trust has been built, we invite people into a deeper season of growth—a fellowship marked by shared life, spiritual formation, and practical transformation. Formation is where the inner work begins. This is a live-in, character-centered experience grounded in the teachings of Jesus and supported by rhythms of discipleship, prayer, service, and work. Fellows are not rushed through a rigid timeline; instead, they are mentored through a journey of becoming—becoming someone whole, someone capable, someone deeply rooted in God’s love. They learn new habits, rebuild their identity, and develop the tools to live with purpose and stability. Formation is not about fixing people—it’s about forming them into who they were always meant to be.
"Not a fix. A foundation"
Family
Our final stage is the one that matters most—not because it completes the journey, but because it secures it for life. In Family, no one is ever sent away. Instead, they are sent deeper—into long-term Christian community, stable housing, meaningful work, and church life. Some become mentors, others serve in the Church or step into leadership roles, but all remain part of something lasting. They are no longer guests; they are family. We believe the Gospel invites us not just to healing, but to adoption. In this stage, that invitation becomes reality. People discover that they don’t walk alone anymore. They belong—permanently, beautifully, and forever.
“You don’t graduate from family.”
