About Us

Not Just Seeing Men. Building Men.

Wilderness expeditions, physical training, and honest mentorship, built spiritually, physically, and mentally.

Our Mission

The Abide Project is a Christ-centered 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Colorado Springs, walking with young men through structured challenge that builds them spiritually, physically, and mentally.

Our mission is to empower men through faith-centered courses and personal development programs, providing mentorship, resources, and practical support that strengthen character, purpose, and leadership in their families and communities, while creating pathways for continued growth, including opportunities for full-time internships and leadership development.

Too many young men are growing up without the structure, brotherhood, and spiritual grounding they need to become who they were made to be. Abide exists to close that gap, not with lectures, but with real challenge: wilderness expeditions, physical training, honest mentorship, and a faith rooted in scripture, lived out on the trail and in daily life.

Why Structured Challenge

This isn’t a program you watch from the sidelines.

Every man who comes through Abide carries real weight on his shoulders, walks real trail miles, and sits across from real men who won't let him coast. The challenge isn't a metaphor. It's wilderness expeditions, physical training, early mornings, and hard conversations. That's where character actually gets built.

Three Pillars of the Challenge

01. Spiritual

Rooted in Christ

Daily scripture, prayer, and discipleship woven into every part of the program: on the trail, in the gym, and in one-on-one mentorship. It's the foundation everything else is built on.

02. Physical

Forged Through Training

Wilderness expeditions, backpacking, and hands-on physical training, including wrestling and strength conditioning. Comfort doesn't build character; real challenge does.

03. Mental

Renewed in Mind

Structured mentorship, brotherhood, and practical accountability that reshape thinking long after the program ends, because no one does it alone.
