Abide’s Vision Statement

Abide continues to pursue our vision of seeing faithfully Reformed young adult gatherings near every NAPARC congregation in North America. We accomplish this in three main ways–daily through the Spaces by Wix App, regularly at local gatherings, and lastly, by hosting multiple retreats throughout the country every year.

Fundraising Objective Statement

Our objective is to raise $100,000 by December 31, 2024, to ensure Abide can continue its operations of expansion. Currently, the overhead costs of Abide to operate are roughly around $100,000 a year. The funds raised will cover the costs of local and regional events for individuals who need financial support, speaker and travel fees, retreat and event expenses, legal fees, insurance, and many other administrative fees. Other overhead costs include developing an official Abide app and providing a living wage for Nicki, our full-time Executive Director, and Hope, our part-time Administrative Assistant. We also are seeking to hire another part-time employee with the funds. With your help, we can deepen our reach, create more fellowship opportunities, and sustain the vital work of Abide.
