Honoring the trials, persistence, resilience, and dedication of the Cul2vators is one of the most important and moving celebrations of the Cul2vate community. Just a couple of weeks ago, Camille, Sterling, David, Kaemon, and Jake graduated after their time at Cul2vate. So many of you embraced and surrounded these individuals with prayer and love. Here are some great moments from the day!

Highlights included:
The Chris Comstock Award presented to Sterling
The Loren Frost Volunteer Award presented to Kyle
Honorary Cul2vator award presented to Lincoln
