L’Arche, “the Ark” in French, is a high-impact international federation of over 140 communities worldwide whose mission is to build community with people of all abilities and to help our society imagine the human family differently, inspiring others to similar initiatives. We do this primarily through small homes where three adults with intellectual disabilities and three assistants share life together, living in the manner of a family, trusting God and living fully engaged lives in the larger community. Each L’Arche community is a grassroots, local effort and L’Arche Atlanta opened our first home in August of 2012.

Nancy & Leanne are on the board of EIRO, which is a catalyst for churches seeking to participate in the mission of God in their neighborhood. They accomplish this work by connecting churches with each other and the community in healthy ways, consulting on the postures and practices needed for healthy missional engagement, and creating initiatives that allow our community to better reflect the Kingdom.
