Facilitating Christian Mentoring for Youth


Purposeful Connections’ cutting-edge program helps students deepen relationships with adults who are already present in their lives. We equip these adults to be more intentional and impactful. Personal growth and lasting transformation result!

Vision:

Youth have the adult support and guidance they want and need to thrive.

Mission:

Purposeful Connections equips adults and Christian school students to form intentional, purposeful, and beneficial connections that grow over time.

Core Values:

Biblically Faithful

Relationship-Focused

Culturally Aware

Purposeful Connections, formerly known as Coastlands Consultants, has served Christian school students, staff, and families since 1989.  Mentoring was always the heart of Coastlands, and it continues to be our heart as we adapt to meet the changing and increasing needs of today’s youth.
