Community First! Village
Our partnership with Community First! Village is one of CONNECTION. The slow and intentional work of building relationships with folks coming out of chronic homelessness. By consistently sharing life with folks who have often been forced to the margins, we build trust and felt safety which are crucial to the healing process.
Dustin & Christina Hite, fellow ANC’ers who live at the Village as intentional neighbors commented, “We believe that being a faithful presence is a slow, intentional practice of allowing God to work in and through our lives as we go about our days. We create environments that are welcoming to all and centered on the ways of Jesus. ANC can help build on that relational momentum and have a blast listening to the rich stories of our neighbors!”

Out Youth

Founded in 1990, Out Youth has grown and changed over the years, but we’ve always retained our most important facet – providing a safe space for LGBTQ+ youth to come together, receive support, and make friends who understand who they are.
