Over the program, we focus on character, integrity, hard work, and respect. We promote an environment of positive peer pressure. We give boys ownership in work projects and chapel services on campus to keep them involved in what is their home away from home. We want to see teens mature in their faith in Christ, and we provide worship, chapel services, bible studies, discipleship, retreats and mission trip opportunities to support that growth. Residents also challenge and encourage each other in their faith. Would any of that happen in a military school or boot camp? That’s unlikely.
