Meet the team

4Tucson’s central focus is to help people fulfill their created purpose of serving God and serving others.

We believe in this focus so much that we created a Purpose Workshop, a course designed for discovering your spiritual gifts, temperament, and strengths, allowing us to live out with confidence: Ephesians 2:10. “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”

The Purpose Workshop is also a resource we use for 4Tucson’s hiring process, volunteer placement and professional development. We have found that understanding each other's gifts makes us better stewards of God's vision in Tucson.

Together, we have discovered that we are able to live out our organization's core values of unity, integrity, partnership, and collaboration. Get to know our staff below:
