What is the purpose of Heart House?

Ø  By giving young women, in middle school and high school, the opportunity to express themselves through music and developing a strong support system of godly role models and peers, we can help them to make sound life choices and grow in a spiritual maturity that will give them hope for a brighter future.

Ø  It is the mission of Heart House to enrich the lives of young women through the gifts God has given them in music and to teach them to use these gifts to glorify God. In doing this, we desire to see each girl grow musically, intellectually, emotionally, physically, relationally, and spiritually.

What issues are Heart House addressing?

Ø  The problem: rebellion, failing grades, eating disorders, unplanned pregnancies, suicide, self-mutilation, depression, abusive relationships, homelessness, drugs, alcohol, prostitution, etc.
