ADVENTURE

I don't know about you, but we crave adventure. There's something deep down inside us that calls out to climb, to reach, to explore, to jump, to see what's over that next ridge or around the next corner. Because of that stirring inside us >> We are committed to adventures for our body & soul.

We're convinced some of the best conversations & deepest friendships are fostered on the way >> on the way to a beautiful waterfall or remote canyon >> on the beach at sunset or at the top of a huge jump. So we go. A lot.

And here's the thing . . . those moments of exploration & adventure we have with our friends are just the beginning. In fact, they're really just metaphors for the kind of adventure we seek in the deepest part of us. We're convinced there is a God, that he made us & that he's worth exploring. We think there are big questions that need to be answered & what better way to explore them than with your friends.

So we go. A lot.

CONNECTION

Friendship is more than a convenience. It's breath. We were made to be close to one another.

We unashamedly pursue deep, lasting friendships. We're convinced that much of what God wants to do in us he does through significant, sincere relationships. So we spend a lot of time together >> and we try to actually know, love, & serve one another. When we do this, God does something ridiculous. He takes people from all over the planet & knits them together into an outrageously beautiful & surprising story. It's a story that when we look over our shoulder to take it all in, brings us to tears & overwhelms us with gratitude.

GIVING BIG

Everybody has a plan for getting . . . nobody has a plan for giving. We're not satisfied with that. We think there's a better way. We believe we were meant to give ourselves away >> and not just a little, but a lot. We dream of giving big.

We've seen God use small amounts of generosity to make a big difference in the lives of our friends in Mexico, South Africa, Argentina, China, India, & on our campus here in Prescott. We have to wonder what He would do if we gave more.

We value generosity. It's rare. It's powerful. It's right.

EXPLORING THE BIG QUESTIONS

Part of the adventure we crave is boldly asking the really big questions. You know, those questions we've sometimes tucked deep inside of us because we're afraid >> afraid of what our friends might think if we asked >> afraid of what the answers might be.

We think this is the perfect time & place to ask those questions. So we encourage you & your friends to go ahead & jump. Because we believe the story God has for you is sturdy enough to handle the questions & deep enough to provide you with real answers.

We believe in big, meaningful jumps.

A COMMUNITY WITH PURPOSE

True adventure takes a “seriousness”. We hope, we intend to be a community of young adults with a seriousness about who God wants us to be. So we move with conviction toward Him.

• A COMMUNITY OF DISCIPLESHIP > We believe that God can be found in his Word, the Bible - so we spend time looking for Him - with one another in small groups & in our large group gathering on Friday nights > ELEVATE. Truth is important - it’s impossible to navigate life without it. So we intend to be shaped, changed, and find our direction by God’s truth.

• A COMMUNITY OF WORSHIP > We believe all real relationship requires sincere response. We can’t know someone, including God, without giving our time, thoughts, words, talents, actions - even hopes & fears - some of Us to Him. So we dedicate time to do just that - we worship Him together on Friday nights, in small groups, around fires, on the trail, or overlooking some remarkably beautiful view. We were meant to worship & communicate with God.

• A COMMUNITY OF FELLOWSHIP > We believe we all long for deep, lasting friendships with one another because God designed us to move through life & pursue Him that way. So we look for opportunities & we walk with intention toward right relationship with each other. This is why we have a calendar full of events - not to stay busy, or even do cool things - but to know each another.

• A COMMUNITY OF SERVICE > We believe that as God changes us & helps us to be more like Him - we start to seek first his Kingdom & what he thinks is deeply right. His Kingdom is marked by an other-centered love. A kind of selfless love that’s rare, but desperately needed. We hope to walk out the kind of generosity, kindness & compassion that Jesus invites us to live. So we make plans to serve & give. You can find this on our calendar in events like Give Big & our Missions Trips.
