We need your help!
As we continue creating a welcoming space for students to gather, we are continually adding pennants to represent our students.Since we have students in many locations, we are asking that families help us prep this space by donating a pennant from the University or College your student attends. If you are able to do so, please see the list of current pennants below or email Caitie to confirm and turn it into the front desk.
The schools we currently have represented are: App State, UNC Charlotte, Clemson University, Furman University, Washington & Lee, UNC Wilmington, Mercer University, NC State, and Sanford University.
Parent Resources
While our Summer Program is geared for College-aged Students, they aren’t the only one entering new territory Parents are also learning and growing alongside their young adult children as things begin to shift within the family system. Here are a few resources we hope you’ll find helpful during this time. We will continue to update them throughout the year so be sure to check back in!Book Recommendations

Filled with brand-new research and real-life stories from remarkable families, Growing With shows you how to close the family gap, giving parents courage to take the next faithful step on a mutual journey of intentional growth that trusts God to transform you all. Discover strategies to help you invite doubt, rather than avoid it. Growing With will show you how to help your kids keep their roots, even as they spread their wings.”Preparing to Launch
Find the Guide Here
Fuller Youth Institute has developed a resource to help families like yours have better conversations in the “launching” phase between adolescence and young adulthood.Parents are often longing for better ways to talk about faith with their kids and to have deeper emotional connection with them. They just struggle to know how, or to reach out in ways that their kids might actually respond. As a response, they have created a 10-session guide that can be used individually, with a spouse or friend, or in a small group or class setting.
