Get To Know Us

We Teach, Train, & Transform young men in the ways of the lord.

Our Philosophy

What good is it to gain the world and lose your soul? There is a need to seek the Lord and his righteousness then have everything else added to us. We must begin to teach young men the importance of changing and mastering their mind, heart, and physical bodies.

Meet The Founder

David Grimes

“Growing up in the inner city of Detroit, I lost my father at the age of five due to lung cancer. I can vividly remember him in particular instances in my childhood, and I have heard how great of a man, a man’s man, he was. Although I am thankful for the brief experiences and great stories of my father, my spirit longed for him and his direction and guidance. I soon came to realize that others in my life would fill the father role and ultimately the Heavenly Father was guiding and leading me all along. I believe he has led me to begin this initiative to help the fatherless and let them know that they do have a Father who has been and will be with them as they grow from sons to Loyal Sons.”
