Who We Are

I AM is a soul care equipping ministry for body, mind and heart that invites students to embrace their sacred worth. I AM is built on three LIFE principles: Practice, Presence and Peace. Dedication to these principles equips you for the art of loving well and living well by learning to become more present to God, yourself and others.
