Our Story

We believe in the power of Christ to transform. We believe that he will use us as his instruments to be a source of inspiration to those around us. We are not frightened by the challenges of reality, but believe that we can change this world and our place within it. So we work, plan, build, and dream - with the cross of Christ as our focus and guide. Our talent, discipline, and integrity - the gifts he has given us - will be our contribution to a new world. Because we believe that we can take this place, this time, and this people, and make a better place, a better time, and a better people.

Through God's power, we will either find a way or make one!
