Beacon Circle was created to offer young people an additional place of support, encouragement, and community, a warm, faith-rooted space where they can connect, share, and grow. As a blended family that has walked through challenges, healing, and growth, we’ve come to deeply appreciate the value of spaces that nurture confidence, connection, and grounded faith.

Those experiences inspired us to help create a welcoming environment where teens can gather and simply feel connected.

Our community is blessed with wonderful churches and strong families, and Beacon Circle is not meant to replace religion, or church . Instead, it offers something complementary, a real-world setting where young people can talk, build confidence, and be gently reminded that God is present in their everyday lives.

Not formal or overwhelming, just honest, warm, and rooted in love.

Rey grew up fast and learned a lot through hard moments. He didn’t find his faith until later in life, which is why he’s passionate about giving teens the support he never had. With a steady spirit and a true love for coaching others, he hopes Beacon Circle becomes a place where teens feel encouraged, connected, and rooted in faith.

Beacon Circle started with Maria’s lived story, growing up fast, healing through faith, and choosing resilience over bitterness. As a wife, mom, and community leader, she brings that same heart here, creating a space for teens to simply gather, build real friendships, feel God’s love, and connect with other Christians as they grow.

Logan is a grounded, thoughtful, and caring young man who brings a steady, calming presence to everyone around him. As a member of the National Junior Honor Society at Candlewood, he leads with kindness, integrity, and quiet confidence.

He loves volleyball, skiing, and traveling, and he approaches life with curiosity and a willingness to try new things. Logan’s character, steady, responsible, and compassionate, reflects the values at the heart of Beacon Circle and reminds us why creating spaces of support and encouragement for teens matters so much.

Liam is an empathetic, creative, and joy-filled young man who brings brightness wherever he goes. Wise beyond his years yet full of fun, he has a natural ability to make people feel understood and included.

He loves yo-yoing, basketball, drawing, building, and anything that lets his imagination take the lead. Liam’s big heart, curiosity, and creativity reflect the spirit behind Beacon Circle, a reminder that every young person has unique gifts waiting to shine.

Together - Maria, Rey, Logan, and Liam -

we each bring our own experiences, strengths, and hearts for serving others. As a blended family, we know how meaningful it is to create a place where every young person feels seen, valued, and supported.

Our hope is simple: that Beacon Circle becomes a steady, encouraging space where teens can connect, find friends with similar values, and feel uplifted in a positive, faith-rooted community.
