Living in Community at Marine Reach

Living in Community

 

Ever wonder what it’s like living in community? What will housing look like during your DTS? Will everyone be altogether? Is everyone on base and in the same building? How many people in each room?

There are always so many questions about what the living quarters look like at Marine Reach, but we’re here to answer those questions!

Here at Marine Reach, we value hospitality, whether you’re coming for your DTS or maybe just a visit. Our hope is that you feel most at home!

More often than not the students stay in the main building; there are two main rooms. One has five bunks and the other has seven, with each having a divider wall making the room seem not so big. There is other housing on the base where the staff stays, so there is plenty of space.

When you arrive on base for your DTS, you will find out where you will be rooming and who you will be rooming with. There are typically 6 to 14 people in each room. It’s very special because you get so close to those who are in your room on DTS!

Prior to your arrival, every room in Marine Reach will have been carefully prayed about and thought through. From room to bed, EVERY space is brought to God!

Living in community is SO much fun! There are always people around to hang out, pray, worship, or play games with.

With all these people around, we have created a culture of encouragement – where you can encourage and be encouraged every day!

And lastly, food is made for you, so you don’t have to worry about cooking (unless you want to jump in with the kitchen where you could bless the base with tasty meals).

Also, if you like alone time, there’s no need to be overwhelmed. We are super blessed with the property we have here, which means you have plenty of opportunities to be by yourself. You can wander down the hill to the valley to have your own time by the waterfall, or head over to the chapel or garden to spend time with the Lord.

Altogether, living in community is such a joy!
