Nick In’t Hout was walking up and down the streets of Redlands, California, and praying about planting a church—but then he heard the Holy Spirit tell him that Redlands didn’t need another church. The city needed churches to work together.

Benard founded the school after he participated in Educational Care training led by Resonate missionary Diana Boot.
