Pathway Church has been named CarePortal's Church of the Year, and the numbers tell part of the story: over 700 children served in 2025, with an economic impact of more than $435,000 right here in Sedgwick County. But the real story is about the everyday people who made it happen. Week after week, Pathway's church family responded to real needs in their own backyard, donating items, meeting families in crisis, and choosing generosity not as a one-time event, but as a way of life. CarePortal Founder and President Adrien Lewis put it this way: Pathway represents the best of what happens when communities come together to serve the most vulnerable, showing that lasting change happens when people lead with compassion, consistency, and courage.
And this chapter is far from over. This summer, Pathway's kids are stepping into that same legacy through FUSE Summer Camp and the Big Summer Give, with eyes set on serving families right here at home through CarePortal. For a church family that has already changed hundreds of lives, watching the next generation carry that spirit forward is something worth celebrating.
