Establishing Home

"Act Five has had an outsized impact on our daughter—the way she looks at the world through the lenses of Christian faith, her exposure to indigenous and environmental themes, and a commitment to a local church community. Act Five is innovative and impactful, and there is a need to continue this work.”

"In Act Five we found an organization that is strategically and uniquely situated to equip youth to understand what living faithfully–in all life’s experiences can mean in our rapidly changing culture. Amid the Western epidemic of young adults abandoning faith as irrelevant, Act Five offers participants the opportunity to experience and grasp hold of God’s relevant and enduring presence. That’s why we believe it’s a place worthy of support.”

“I was entering into a fast-paced world that tirelessly begged for my attention. Act Five was a unique opportunity to engage my faith intentionally, within the supports of a Christian community. My year was like a deep breath, a grounding and equipping reorientation.”

"Act Five understands how to create a truly safe space for young adults to learn to live in community, become more independent, explore their vocation and learn practices that will help them sustain their faith wherever they go next."

“Act Five was a place for me to find out who I am and what I want to be in the world. It taught me to take things slow. To observe and ask questions, not to rush. I am slowly but surely learning how to lean on and trust God, not just in the big things, but in my ordinary life and decisions.”
