About Us

Our Story

• The Foundation is an interdenominational ministry located in Shelby, NC. The Foundation was started by a small group of college students in February 2006 after several years of vision from God leading the group to start a ministry geared towards the age group which is least ministered to: 20-Somethings. Seeing a need in the local community for a ministry that was Christ-centered, creative, and culturally relevant...the group started their journey of starting the Foundation.

• Entering the Spring of 2006 the core group of college students and recent college-grads started a weekly Bible Study/HangOUT that met in an abandoned house throughout the summer, eventually filling the entire house up with college students on a weekly basis. With the growing interest in the ministry, the Foundation started holding worship gatherings in a local church gym on a monthly basis as well as starting co-ed small groups at Gardner-Webb and elsewhere in the community.

• By the beginning of 2007, the Foundation had met in 4 different locations and started holding bi-weekly worship gatherings at another local church facility. Along with worship gatherings, the ministry expanded it's small group ministry, and started a traveling ministry that included a newly named band: Jonny's House.

• Currently The Foundation is still a mobile ministry...meeting in different locations as the Lord leads, and continuing to chase after the vision God has for us. We are currently holding weekly worship services on Wednesday nights and traveling to different churches and other local venues for a variety of ministry opportunities. If you would like to schedule Jonny's House, a speaker, or another group from the Foundation to come to your church or ministry for any event (DiscipleNow Weekend, Concert, Revival, Youth Group, Sunday Worship, Camp, etc.) please feel free to contact any member of the Vision Team listed below.
