We are an organization registered and in good standing with the Center for Student Involvement and Leadership (CSIL) with Appalachian State University. That means we have taken the necessary steps to be a part of the University, and we have their consent to be present on campus. In other words, we are legal!

We are members of the Appalachian Spiritual Life Association (ASLA), a group of prominent ministries that have gone through a system of rigorous hoops in order to be recognized by the University. That means that we have been here long enough to be respected, and we are part of the Campus Ministry advisory group to the University.

We are a ministry of and connected to the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina (BSCNC). That means that we are funded, in part, by the BSCNC; we send summer missionaries through the summer missions program of the BSCNC; and we are accountable to the BSCNC.

We are a ministry connected to the Three Forks Baptist Association (TFBA). That means that we partner with the churches that make up the TFBA, especially when it comes to laboring in the community of Boone and the High Country.
