House of Susan B. Anthony
We are authentic individuals kindling life through purposeful relationships.
Mission
“Sooner or later we all discover that the important moments in life are not the advertised ones, not the birthdays, the graduations, the weddings, not the great goals achieved. The real milestones are less prepossessing. They come to the door of memory unannounced, stray dogs that amble in, sniff around a bit and simply never leave. Our lives are measured by these.”
House Values
We value what is real, raw, genuine, and true.
We strive to live an influential life. We want to make a marked difference in the world and to glorify God in our choices.
Intentional community is how we develop our gifts and face our weaknesses. Friendship is cultivated with commitment and grace.
A purposeful, vibrant life blossoms in relationship with each other and with God. We are called and equipped to live abundantly, moving from glory to glory, from strength to strength.
