In today’s world, our children and youth are constantly surrounded by distractions, voices, and influences all competing for their attention and shaping their view of themselves and the world. Mission Forward was founded with a singular passion: to create a place where young girls and boys could not only discover their identity in Christ but experience it firsthand through worship and creative expression. At Mission Forward, we integrate faith-based leadership principles with hands-on, immersive experiences, giving students a strong foundation that goes beyond traditional learning. This is a space where young people are encouraged to worship freely, express themselves, and grow into the leaders God has called them to be.

As a mother of two daughters, this mission is deeply personal to me. I understand the importance of creating an environment where our kids can be surrounded by positive influences, strong role models, and opportunities to experience the love of Christ in a real, transformative way. Mission Forward was birthed from my own desire to see my daughters activated in their faith—to see them not only learn about God but encounter Him. I wanted them to experience leadership grounded in Christian values and have a safe place to explore their creativity, to understand who they are in Christ, and to know they have a unique purpose in His Kingdom.

​

Through Mission Forward, my goal is to provide this opportunity not just for my own children but for all young people who long for a deeper connection with God and with themselves. My heart is that every student who joins Mission Forward leaves with a stronger identity in Christ, a deeper confidence in their gifts, and a passion to lead others with love, courage, and faith. This is why Mission Forward exists: to empower the next generation to move boldly in their purpose, to become conduits of His Kingdom, and to grow in a community that will support and nurture their God-given dreams.
