Our Story
WePrepare.Us was founded on a simple but powerful conviction: families of faith deserve practical, culturally grounded tools for preparedness and financial resilience. We believe that stewardship is a spiritual act, not merely a practical one, and that the call to care for your household is inseparable from your calling before God. From the beginning, this organization was built to serve communities that mainstream preparedness culture has too often overlooked, offering resources that honor both the wisdom of faith and the realities of everyday family life.
That founding vision has grown from a small community gathering into a membership organization offering resources, events, publications, apps, and local chapter initiatives across the country. The mission remains unchanged: equip families to thrive spiritually, financially, and practically, so that faith-rooted households are prepared to stand firm in every season.
Values & Mission
These core values are the foundation of every program, resource, and community initiative WePrepare.Us offers.
Faith First
Every decision, resource, and program we offer is filtered through a commitment to biblical stewardship and trust in God's provision. Preparedness is an act of worship when it flows from faith rather than fear, and that conviction guides everything we do at WePrepare.Us.
Family Resilience
Strong families are the foundation of strong communities. WePrepare.Us equips households with practical skills and financial tools so they can stand firm through disruption and uncertainty, protecting not just their assets but their peace and purpose.
Financial Stewardship
True wealth-building is rooted in integrity and generational thinking. Members are equipped to manage resources wisely, reduce debt, and build legacies that honor their faith and serve their communities for years to come.
Cultural Wealth
Preparedness has deep and proud roots in communities of color. WePrepare.Us honors and amplifies that tradition, providing culturally resonant resources that celebrate the knowledge and resilience already present in these communities rather than replacing it.
