Boundless Impact is excited to welcome 3 new ImagineHub sites to our network of community economic development centers - bringing us to 28 sites! The churches are all located in Buncombe County and were part of the 2023 Winter cohort that recently finished the on-boarding process.

The team from Trinity United Methodist Church is led by Rev. Nancy Walton and Rev. Dustin Mailman. Along with several community partners, they are launching Deep Time to serve recently incarcerated individuals. The mission of Deep Time is to build employment skills and workforce development through a coffee roasting and retail operation.

Rev. Avery White has led the team from Francis Asbury United Methodist Church in Candler, NC, as they seek ways to serve middle school youth. The church has a fabulous gymnasium and they want to find impactful ways to use it to serve the community. With a Middle School within walking distance and a YMCA close by without a gym, the team is dreaming about summer and after school programs to develop healthy mindsets and learning activities for youth.

Skyland United Methodist Church's team is led by Rev. Joy Moss. Their goal is to bring artists and creatives together in a program called Wild Goose. They will host pottery workshops, pop-up markets and an eventual retail space for folks seeking a supportive community. Pictured below is a Wild Goose artist at a recent pop-up event.
