The overall vision of Newtown Connection, in tandem with Boys & Girls Clubs of Sarasota and DeSoto Counties, is to introduce a new and diverse group of youth to an after-school program centered on Sports, Health and Education. Newtown Connection will seek to recruit children ages 6-12 years old who are NEP members. They will participate in fast-paced, inclusive baseball activities while receiving an important after-school enrichment curriculum that helps ensure their success both on and off the field. This program will introduce baseball to youth that may lack access to the sport because of financial hardship, transportation, lack of safe green spaces to play, skill level, and/or even having proper sports equipment. The major focuses of the program include sports, health and education, trauma recovery, and positive character trait development.Lucas Tanner is the campus minister of RUF at FGCU.  Lucas was born and raised in Naples, Florida.

Reformed University Fellowship (RUF) is a campus ministry that reaches college students from all backgrounds with the hope of Jesus Christ. College is a time when beliefs are explored, decisions are made, and lives are changed. We invite students into authentic relationships and the study of God’s Word. Through the ministry of RUF, students discover the love of Christ, find their significance in God’s redemptive story, and engage in the life of His church.
The 2 campuses highlighted below are currently supported by Cornerstone.

Meet Alise Berrojo! We first met Alise as a freshman in high school when she started attending youth group in 2018. Shortly after, she became a member of Cornerstone in 2021. After graduating high school, she attended USF where she met her husband, Joseph, became involved in Reformed University Fellowship (RUF) and finally graduating with a Bachelors in Health Science.

With prayerful consideration, support from her RUF campus ministers and community around Alise, she felt the call to be an intern with RUF. This past Sunday, Alise came back and visited Cornerstone and shared her journey with us. We know that God has some great things in store for Alise and would encourage anyone wanting to know more about this ministry to reach out to her.
