We are looking forward to meeting the perfect candidate for the important role of Resident Concierge| Direct Support Professional. The ideal person must take our core values; community integration, abundant life, and inclusiveness to heart and implement these regularly to guide our residents to fully enjoy their capabilities and talents. “We can teach skills, but we need someone to come with the heart. We want someone to empower and not enable,” comments Two Sparrows Executive Director Jacquelyn Thornton.

The John and Polly Sparks Foundation provided major funding to allow Christian City to transform what was originally built in 1965 as a home for children into a modern home for neuro-diverse adults to live in independence. A community of donors and volunteers came together to achieve the completion of the project and to allow Christian City to gift it to Two Sparrows Village.
