Solidarity

In 2002, a small group of college students from Hope International University was compelled to rediscover God’s heart for The Church. They wanted to change the world for Jesus, but had no clue how to. Armed with only a naive desire to love others well, it was almost as if they stumbled onto this path that God had been carving for years. This group of eight college students walked into a low income, gang-ridden neighborhood in Fullerton, CA and began to participate in the things God was already doing in the community. The college students came in to "serve", to "fix", and to "change" the neighborhood for Christ, but instead fell deeply in love with a community, its people, and the rich culture.

This is the story of Solidarity. This is a story of a community of believers who have joined in with what God has been doing in neighborhoods in Fullerton. This is a story of a group of broken individuals who, in elated seasons of joy or cavernous moments of pain and despair, are always trying to choose the path that leads toward depth with Jesus. This is a story of a few outsiders who have been transformed as they had the honor of experiencing the neighbors of the communities rise up to become the strength of the city.
