Step into where God is sending you

"Here am I. Send me!" — Isaiah 6:8

Every person has a role. For some, going looks like a Saturday morning at the food pantry down the road. For others, it looks like boarding a plane with a passport and a packed bag. For all of us, it looks like obedience — saying yes to wherever the Spirit is leading.

You don't have to know your whole calling to take your next step. We can help you find where to begin.
