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