We are an externally focused group that works on improving oursleves and and the world around us. Our goal is to build a community of friends who aspire to greatness in everything they do. We are the doers, the builders, and the caregivers of the world. We believe that we have been blessed with time, talents, and resources and it is our responsibility to magnify and share them with all mankind.
"Improving yourself is the first step to improving the world."
Think of the Overlap as a sort of "temp agency" for charities and community service. Our desire is to provide helping hands to the community and offer help anywhere it is needed without focusing on a specific niche.
"The greatest gift you can give to the world is a better version of yourself."
We are concnered about the practical God of the now. And, what that God has for our world today. The Overlap is not concerned about obtaining a future heaven or some future blessing. Instead, we try to "bring heaven to Earth".
"We serve God by serving our brother."
There is only one truth and one path to heaven. But no one is better qualified than another to adjudicate what that truth or path is. So, the Overlap invites each person to worship how, where, and what they may, according to the dictates of their own conscience. We seek to find the common ground with all good intentioned individuals and desire to use that common ground to bring about real change in the world.
"If you're looking for meaning. Start by taking something ugly and making it beautiful."
The Overlap philosophy is based around these four fundamental principals:
While The Overlap is based on the premise that there is a "Higher Power", it is not a church and doesn t teach religion. It is designed to work along side churches and other organizations or self-improvement programs to enhance ourselves and to motivate us to be better, to do more, and to make an impact.
