Anchored

“This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast, and one which enters the Presence behind the veil.” —Hebrews 6:19

We call ourselves “Anchored” because we know that our salvation in Jesus Christ will give us the full assurance of hope until the end. Our goal as a ministry is to provide opportunities for mentorship, the application of Scripture, and growth in relationships with Christ and one another, so that we will be anchored as we run the race set before us.
