Adam and Andrea Wells found Pathway in 2016, looking for a church rooted in the same community where their kids would grow up. What started as a visit became a decade of life together and somewhere along the way, their home became the place where faith was most alive.
That didn't happen by accident. Adam and Andrea made a choice early on to be the primary faith influencers for their daughters. They built their family around a simple idea: live light with their schedule, their stuff, and their finances, so they'd always have room to say yes when God opened a door. Around the dinner table, in the everyday moments, and through the way they served and gave, they showed their girls what it looks like to follow Jesus with open hands.
That investment changed everything. When their daughter Finley decided she wanted to be baptized, she went to her mom first. They talked through the why together. And then Finley asked her sister Wren to be the one who baptized her. Faith passed down not through a program, but through parents who walked with their kids every step of the way.
At Pathway, we believe parents are the most powerful spiritual influence in a child's life and no parent should have to figure that out alone. When you give, your generosity help Pathway partner with and helps equip families like the Wells family to have the conversations, take the steps, and create the moments that shape a child's faith for a lifetime. As Adam and Andrea would tell you, you can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start today and change the ending.
