Our Story

Kevin and his wife, Gwen, embarked on an unexpected adventure when they attended a local DFCS parenting class. What began as a fun date night led them to foster and ultimately adopt a child into their family — challenging and life-changing in the best possible way.

 

In gratitude to the community that stood with them, they set out to create space for others to experience this kind of new ground — a place where people could let down their guard, renew relationships, and grow together.

 

In 2016, they found the perfect blank canvas: a tiny white house on 15 acres of historic farmland in the heart of Canton, Georgia. New Ground Foundation was born — a community center and their family's legacy.
