ROOTED IN CHRIST. BUILT FOR TEXAS YOUTH.​​​

Thousands of youth in North Texas lack a safe place to live and a stable, caring support system.

1 in 3

foster youth who age out in Texas will experience homelessness by age 21.

Too many youth age out unprepared, without the support they need to build a stable future.

Aging out shouldn’t be where support ends, because it is where support is needed the most.

NO YOUTH SHOULD NAVIGATE LIFE ALONE

“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress…” James 1:27

That belief shapes everything we do. Through our programs and wraparound support, we walk alongside youth from immediate needs to long-term independence.

But still, too many youth lack a safe place to call home. In North Texas, there are not enough safe, stable places for teens in foster care, and others who age out without support struggle to find stable housing.

That’s why we are working to bring the Empower 7 Ranch to life, a long-term, faith-centered home designed to provide safety, structure, and lasting belonging.

OUR FAITH IN ACTION: EMPOWER 7 PROJECTS

LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR

When Jesus said, “Go and do likewise” (Luke 10:37), He called us to step toward those in need, not pass by.

We show up for vulnerable youth through meaningful relationships, practical support, and Christ-centered community.

From meeting urgent needs to walking alongside youth as they prepare for independence, we turn compassion into a consistent, caring, presence.

This is what Loving Our Neighbor looks like.
