Our Student Lounge and Arts Venue becomes a 'home away from home' during the academic year—a safe welcoming space for post-secondary students to rest create and connect. With homemade meals a cozy drop-in café study spaces free laundry and a university shuttle we make everyday life a little easier and a lot more supportive.

This outreach directly fueled the growth of our internal Youth and HYPE (House Youth Pre-Teen) ministries bringing new energy and wider reach to the heart of our mission: investing in the next generation. In another milestone we hosted our first-ever Church Retreat—a transformative weekend where our church family came together to rest reconnect and deepen our relationships with one another and with Jesus. The impact of this shared experience continues to ripple through our community. Looking ahead we’ve taken significant steps toward expanding our facility—laying the groundwork for a future where our ministries can grow sustainably and serve generations to come with greater capacity and creativity. 2024 wasn’t just a year of growth—it was a year of becoming. And we believe the best is yet to come.
