The WeTHRIVE Initiative exists to help people learn to THRIVE in every area of life through teaching and embodying TRANSFORMATION, EMPOWERMENT, and MULTIPLICATION.
We believe that creative avenues such as music, creative writing, and art are ways that God can reveal Himself to us and lead us to greater healing and growth in Him. We desire to empower others to use their God-given creative gifts to help others experience the presence and glory of God through the arts.
Our programs such as counseling, coaching, mentoring, and support services are designed to provide the community and those in local churches the emotional, relational, physical, financial, and spiritual assistance that they need to live a THRIVING life.
We believe that God uses others to help us live a THRIVING life. Life is better when we are surrounded by people who can encourage, inspire, and challenge us on our journey. Our goal is to create a community of like- minded individuals who all experience God’s HEALING, LOVE, JOY and PEACE TOGETHER.
