About Us
Who We Are
We exist to take the Gospel to the corners of Clark county and lead students into encounters with God while discipling and equipping them to do the same with others.
Our goal is to help students discover their God-given identity and encounter Jesus through scripture, worship. and prayer, gain opportunities to serve each other, and to reach our community.
