unveiling glory in an age of confusion and shame
the space
what is The Space?
The Space is a ministry for youth and young adults in Visalia, California that has been growing since 2013.
At the heart of our ministry is the belief that every human being is made in the image of God, body and spirit, and is designed by Him to be the space where His glory dwells. As such, personal identity can be found only within the context of an ongoing love-relationship with Father God through the redeeming work of Jesus Christ and His Spirit.

what drives us
We believe that through the finished work of Jesus Christ on behalf of sinners, God enters the human heart in love, washes it clean of guilt and shame, fills it with his presence, and tends to it daily as his most precious place on earth (1 Pet 3:4).We believe that Gen Z is under attack in this most precious place, constantly bombarded by input from social media, the internet, and an agenda that urges them to define themselves and their value apart from God. We protect space and time for young people to know God so that they can begin to understand their true identity as precious sons and daughters of God.
how does it work?
The Space has two branches: the Life House and the Vision School of Leadership.
The Life House serves Jr. High - Young Adults by focusing in on what it takes for Gen Z's reconnection to community and the world around them. The Life House hosts events and consists of programs that focus on building connection, fostering joy, and creating safe space for all to come and be loved well.
