SO Loved 316, Inc.

After over 10 years in social service and youth ministry, SO Loved 316, Inc. was established in 2008 by Tiphany Burrell as an extension of services provided at Mountain Top Learning Center.

Rooted firmly in the Word of God, SO Loved 316, Inc. applies biblical principles to address social issues.

In a world that is full of war, poverty, and despair, as a young person it is difficult to see love...true love...unconditional love...love not because, but love even though...

It has been said that "love heals all wounds" and today's young people are living society that is more dangerous and hurtful than any other time in history.

Just thinking about the threats that any 12-year old girl is faced with today, makes one tremble...domestic violence...sexual assault...substance abuse...alcoholism...school violence...gang "mentality"...AIDS/HIV...STDs...pregnancy....obesity... poverty... poor education...

These threats not only endanger the lives and well-being of millions of girls and young women, but pose serious peril to our future as a society.  They cast shroud of darkness on a world that needs light to survive...

SO Loved 316, Inc. was founded to nurture and grow that light in today's girls and young women.

By understanding and accepting themselves as people who are already loved, girls and young women will be able to embrace and fulfill heir purpose and their mission with competence, skill, and fortitude.  They will fully develop their abilities and embrace their capacities so that become and asset to our communities.
