What is the bus stop?
The Bus Stop is an opportunity to find your seat on the bus, in other words, to get involved. Our vision is for every generation to rally together around our shared purpose. Take a look at the list below and find an opportunity to Lean In and connect with others through a group or class and then to Move Out through a service or mission opportunity.
