    Overview

    We proclaim the Good News of God in Christ by engaging Episcopalians and our neighbors in the Chattahoochee Valley to learn, connect, and act to fight inequity and build strong communities.

    Infusion is our servant leadership-based program for high school students from diverse backgrounds. Students engage in community by study, reflection, and direct interaction around issues of social justice. The program runs for 9 months during the school year.

    As the students interact with the community on various levels, they are led in processing their insights; they decide each year's theme, plan and implement strategies.

    Students also learn about themselves. They explore how each person’s personality, faith and life experience can make a difference.

    Students will meet people from all walks of life-different faiths, cultures, races, and social and economic backgrounds. They will work as a team in looking for ways to bring people and communities together as they work to empower others and bring about positive changes.
