Bloom Enterprises (formerly known as Randy & Friends) is dedicated to supporting, encouraging, and empowering adults with different abilities. We also aim to shine a light on inclusion in North Georgia, proving that we are more alike than different and that God creates each of us with value. HOW DO WE TOUCH LIVES?
• We do it by building relationships in a Christ centered atmosphere in a setting.
•

We do it by teaching small groups, for example: gardening, cooking, and crafts.
• We do it by recognizing each person’s gifts and talents.
• We do it by partnering with the community, involving volunteers with various backgrounds and vocations and seeking community resources, such as Brenau University.
• We do it by employing people with disabilities and helping them find jobs they would enjoy. Statement of Faith

1. We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God.
2. We believe in one God, existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
