WHO WE SERVE

We serve Christians of color, primarily between the ages of 25-45, providing them with mentorship and vocational development. 

We empower emerging creatives, church leaders, and community builders of color with training rooted in values of peace, justice and contemplation.

Why young Christians of color? Research shows they are the least likely to receive development and resources and we aim to close that gap. These brilliant image-bearers are far too often left out of the room and all of us risk losing the radical voices we most need to hear when they don’t receive the mentorship and training they deserve. 

Our call, therefore, is to serve these young people by providing them with community and mentorship from experts in the field. We pour into the next generation of emerging leaders of color so they can be trained, cultivated, and empowered to live into their true identities.
