Helping Teens Become Apprentices
Resilient is a Christian Community Development organization born from the missions ministry of Christ Church as part of the "Take Root" initiative. Launched into independence as its own 501(c)3 in 2018, Resilient provides opportunities for youth and families in pockets of suburban poverty just minutes from Christ Church’s two campuses.
Resilient envisions a community where all children gain self-worth and thrive despite challenging circumstances.
