Our founder, Nate Hepner, was raised Southern Baptist and later broadened his faith through exploration. During his time in the military, he trained as an infantryman and found beauty in the diversity of belief, culture, and community. Each Sunday during basic training, instead of attending a single denomination on the installation, he visited a different church — experiencing the unity that underlies so many ways of worship. Through that journey, one truth stayed constant: the greatest joy comes from serving others.
