Putting Jesus in the Center of young lives

Meet Our Founders: Mark & Mary Jane Trotter

Mark and Mary Jane Trotter felt a deep call from God to serve the children in their community—especially those who are often overlooked, lost, or underserved. What began as a small Bible study with just a few kids quickly grew into something much bigger as more young people began showing up hungry for connection, encouragement, and truth.

Their heart has always been simple: transform the community one child at a time by sharing God’s love and walking alongside young people in everyday life. Today, that vision has grown into weekly Bible studies for students from elementary through high school, along with retreats, fun outings, mentorship, and meaningful relationships.

For Mark and Mary Jane, it’s not just about programs—it’s about doing life together, building trust, and creating a place where every child feels seen, valued, and loved. Through faith, friendship, and community, they are committed to raising up a generation that knows their worth and their purpose.
