At the WOW Center, we call ourselves A Community of Hope because we long to see Hope impacting the community we live in. The Community of Hope is a vision that has helped keep the WOW Vineyard on course. A course, that for several years, has been exploring, establishing and developing the synergy between the Community of Believers – Business People – and Youth. |

These three entities are critical to bringing hope to communities. Each are unique in their strengths while being complimentary at the same time. It is our belief that this way of thinking will make each part better working together than any one of them can be if they choose to operate in isolation. When Youth contribute to the Community of Hope, they bring opportunities to serve, to have fun, to experience life. We also bring leadership development training opportunities, whether the individuals are initially perceived as introverts or extroverts. The Community of Believers’ primary focus is on equipping people to be effective. Our purpose is to mobilizing people to make an impact on the world around them as they discover their true destinies. The Business Peoples’ primary focus is bringing the skills of generating profitability , and integrity into the Community of Hope. Through intelligent and thoughtful decisions, we are building resources, relationships, and reputations. To break it down further – what does each group of people bring into the model? |
| Youth: 1) Benefit from passion & teach-ability 2) Utilize high energy 3) Learn from example of risk taking |
Community of Believers: 1) A kingdom perspective 2) A moral compass 3) The goal of reconciliation |
Business: 1) Build good reputations & relations 2) Strategic approach to resources 3) Accountability for tough decisions |

It is strategic for the WOW Center to be located in the Market Place , where Business, Community and Youth can readily interact! Why, because the market place is frequented by every segment of our present day community: whether they be socio economic, ethnic, gender, political, intergenerational, etc. Therefore, you will find at the WOW Center groups and individuals coming together to pursue equipping, leadership and integrity. From there, we are going out to impact our community by mobilizing volunteers, creating opportunities and pursuing more profitable relationships. So, coming together and going out is a constant rhythm. It is here that we grow the Community of Hope. |
