Destination Destiny operates in two spheres.

Assisting Youth serving organizations in aligning, arranging and applying maximum effectiveness for sustained character and personal development. The only true measure of effectiveness answers the question – Are we making disciples as Jesus commanded in Matthew 28? The answer is not, creative programming, increased attendance, awesome mission trips and satisfied parents: It is revealed by the transformation in the lives of the youth under your care.
Below are our services offerings built off the principle . . .
