What We've

Observed

Founded in 1987 and revitalized in 1995, the organization was started by Dave and Donna Heinrich. In 1995, Peter joined as Executive Director. The mission is to reach marginalized, alienated, and skeptical young adults—those who are not attending church—by engaging both the under-churched and the over-churched.
