Our Story
How REACH came to be
Created by faith leaders, for faith leaders Designed to foster love, unity & connectedness
REACH was created by individuals with vastly different backgrounds but a shared vision. The team that built REACH comes from a wide array of family dynamics, faith ideologies, and personal challenges, but at their core, everyone has a powerful belief in God that guides their daily lives.
Despite their differences, the REACH team has found common ground in their shared mission: to build an app that brings people together. They believe the world needs more unity and love, now more than ever. Through REACH, they aim to create a platform where faith leaders and members can connect, support each other, and grow together spiritually.
A common purpose Bridging gaps between leaders & members
REACH is meant to be a tool that helps faith communities strengthen their bonds, regardless of background or denomination.
Different background, one common goalMeet the founder
Mark Woodland
I grew up in a religious home, where Faith and God were talked about regularly, we went to church, said our prayers and honestly I didn’t think about it much, it was just what we did. I then went on a mission trip for my church to the Philippines, I saw a completely different people and fell in love with them and I started to realize that Faith mattered more than I thought it did. I came home finished school, got married and started raising a family. As happens to all of us in this life, I had ups and downs and trials and eventually I had to ask myself what exactly did I believe. At a particularly low point, I woke up and realized that God wasn’t at the center of my life, not really and I was struggling…things weren’t easy, I made mistakes and had to decide which direction I wanted to go. Would I turn to God and look to Him for guidance and help or would I turn away and make my own way. After some soul searching it became clear that I need God in my life more than ever and that my Faith was the bedrock I needed to build from. My journey with Faith and with God I think is common, we all need help, we all need support and my hope is that in a small way that REACH will help us all turn to God. I hope that REACH can help us strengthen our Faith, support each other and pull us together in unity as children of God.
