Cultivating Faith
Work Crew will critically evaluate and develop ownership of their faith as they learn, discuss, and explore their theology, digging in to the question of ‘How’ to live out Christian faith in God honoring ways.
Nurturing Community
Work Crew will learn conflict resolution skills and understand how to interpret the actions of others in the best possible light. An emphasis will be placed on teamwork and service, with a focus on discovering that servant leadership involves setting examples for others through giving of oneself. It is not about directing others or telling them what to do, but rather considering how best to serve one another.
Forging Character
Our Work Crew staff will develop the ability to be creative, joyful, and optimistic in the midst of difficulties or unexpected circumstances. They will gain a strong work ethic as they learn how to follow through with commitments and persevere through discomfort.
