WHY SPACES MATTER
Students aren’t just tomorrow’s leaders, they are leading in vital areas today. Every week we see them operating cameras, leading worship, working in PV Kids and the nursery and going on mission trips. They invest their ideas, time, ingenuity and perspective into so much. They are anything but consumers. Why would we give them anything but our best?
Today, students have access to the city’s best spaces. Midtown shops with modern design; the West Bottoms with old school grit; the Crossroads with hip roasters that teach them not only about the coffee they’re drinking but also about the family who raised the beans. They’re interconnected to the world in an instant and compelling way, and they’re ready to invest in the things that matter to them.
Students crave authentic communities. They can sniff out contrived spaces and relationships, but as adventurous and savvy as they are, they also long for stability. They need places filled with people in their life that are anchoring, safe spots where they can open up and trust.
We want to invest in these young leaders…the very hope of today. We want to give them the tools they need to grow both spiritually and practically in spaces they can call their own and invite their friends into. We want to give them a space to wrestle with the biggest questions of faith today. “Who is God?” “Who am I in Him?” “What is my identity?”
We want a modern worship space that allows them to range from an acoustic prayer set to a raucous praise party where the lights and sounds will reverberate in their hearts for decades.
We want to give them the technology to access the resources of the Bible and great thinkers as they hear the Word preached and grow with their friends and feel confident to lead those who are coming behind them.
