The programs of the House of the Carpenter have become very intentional in focus on supporting the work of transformation.  Consequently, this has produced a myriad of events focused on children/youth.  However, the facility on S. Front was never designed for this type of ministry.  Recognizing the importance of this work, the Board of Directors began exploring the development of a Youth Center adjacent to the current building.  Years of work went into designing, planning and preparing for such a large project.  Construction began in 2019 and by spring of 2020 the Toni and Nancy Bedway Center for Youth was ready to open.

Since the opening, there has been a significant amount of work developing programs and operating some programs in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic.  As we collectively move out of the pandemic, more programming will be developed in order to enrich the lives of the community we serve.
