The Clearing - What We're About

We desire young adults to experience Life at Bent Tree.

We don't want anyone to miss the grace of God.

We value becoming:

Secure in the Father.
Security comes from a clear understanding of our position in the Father—this is what we KNOW.

Obedient in the Spirit.
The believer grows in obedience to the Holy Spirit. This is what we DO.

Authentic in the Son.
We can live authentically in the Son, no longer pretending to be what we are not, but content in whom we are becoming. This is who we BE.

Redemptive in the world.
As we grow in security, obedience, and authenticity, we also become redemptive and useful in the world for the sake of the Gospel. This is how we SERVE.

We believe that growing in these four areas as a community are vital for young adults to thrive—soar—as they step into their gifts and roles in the kingdom of God.


...according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and for sprinkling with his blood:

May grace and peace be multiplied to you.

—1 Peter 1:2
