Who We Are

Rooted in Christ, Grounded in Purpose

A diverse group of young adults gathered in conversation in a warm, welcoming space, with a Bible on the table and a HOPE HEALING PURPOSE sign on the wall
"He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds." — Psalm 147:3

Source of Wellness Collective Center exists for young adults 18 and beyond in every season of life — the turning points, the fresh starts, and the everyday search for purpose, belonging, and community.

We're not a clinic and we're not a quick fix. We're a community of mentors offering prayer and practical support, framed by the Seven Pillars of Wellness — walking alongside young people toward wholeness. Because if Christ truly is the foundation, wholeness is the evidence. And when it is, we send them out to sow into others what was sown into them — hope, wholeness, and a place to belong.

What sets us apart is that we don't ask anyone to choose between the spiritual and the practical — we believe lasting wholeness needs both. Many organizations do one well. We're not aware of another in the Fredericksburg, Stafford, and Spotsylvania area that weaves the two together through the Seven Pillars of Wellness the way we do.

Who We Serve

A Community Where Every Young Adult Belongs

We serve young adults 18 and beyond, wherever they are and whatever season they’re in. Many young adults today are looking for real community and a place to belong, and some are walking through hard seasons. Whatever brings you here, you are welcome. Through Christ-centered mentoring, education, and holistic wellness, we walk alongside participants as they build lives of purpose, resilience, and service to others.

Why It Matters

Building Belonging Where It’s Missing

Belonging. 44% of young adults say they feel they matter to others only a little or not at all.Source: Harvard Graduate School of Education, Making Caring Common, “On Edge,” 2023

Purpose. 58% of young adults report little or no sense of purpose or meaning in life.Source: Harvard Graduate School of Education, Making Caring Common, “On Edge,” 2023

Connection. Young people ages 15–24 spend 70% less time socializing with friends in person than they did two decades ago.Source: U.S. Surgeon General’s Advisory, “Our Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation,” 2023

We believe faith and real community help young adults grow, heal, and build identity, purpose, and belonging for the long term.

By walking alongside young adults in every season of life, SOW helps them not only grow, but thrive and sow back into their communities what was sown into them.

A Welcome From Our Founder

Our Invitation

Whether you are seeking hope, searching for purpose, supporting a loved one, or looking for a place to invest your time and gifts, we welcome you with Christ-like love. Our prayer is that every person who walks through our doors discovers that Christ is our foundation, wholeness is the evidence, and a life transformed becomes a life that transforms others.

— E. Viviana Epperson
Founder & Executive Director

"There are moments in life when God quietly stirs your heart—not with fear, but with compassion. He allows you to see people differently, reveals needs that others may overlook, and refuses to let you simply walk away. That is how the Source of Wellness Collective Center was born."

"A person can be sober and still be emotionally wounded. They can attend church and still feel isolated. They can appear successful while quietly carrying deep pain. True healing reaches every part of a person's life."

"The greatest healing in my own life did not come through another person or through my circumstances changing. It came through an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ... He didn't simply improve my life. He made me whole."

There are moments in life when God quietly stirs your heart—not with fear, but with compassion. He allows you to see people differently, reveals needs that others may overlook, and refuses to let you simply walk away.

That is how the Source of Wellness Collective Center was born.

For many years, I have served in ministry, walking alongside individuals and families navigating brokenness, addiction, life-controlling behaviors, and difficult seasons. Along the way, I began teaching Retail Theft Education classes. During one particular class, something unexpected happened.

As we discussed accountability, decision-making, and personal responsibility, several young adults began connecting our conversation to Scripture. I hadn't introduced Bible verses—they did. The discussion naturally shifted toward faith and God's work in their lives.

Then one of the young persons in the class shared how the Holy Spirit had convicted their heart. If I'm honest, they were probably the last person I expected to tell that story. I had made assumptions based on their outward appearance, but God gently reminded me that He sees the heart. In that moment, I sensed His presence in a way I will never forget.

When the three-hour class ended, most of the students stayed for nearly two more hours. They talked openly about life, faith, struggles, and their desire for authentic relationships. During the class evaluation, several shared the same thought: "I wish we could have ended with a prayer circle."

That simple comment settled deeply into my spirit.

These young adults weren't asking for another program. They were longing for a safe place where they could ask questions, pray together, receive guidance and mentorship, and grow in their relationship with Christ. Some admitted they didn't even know where to find a healthy church community or trusted believers who would walk alongside them.

Around that same time, my husband completed a Veterans Affairs wellness program and shared with me what he had learned about the pillars of wellness. As he talked, the Holy Spirit began connecting the dots.

He impressed upon my heart that recovery is far more than changing behavior. A person can be sober and still be emotionally wounded. They can attend church and still feel isolated. They can appear successful while quietly carrying deep pain.

True healing reaches every part of a person's life.

It became clear that Christ had to remain the foundation because lasting transformation begins and ends with Him. But God also revealed a practical pathway toward wholeness—one that intentionally nurtures spiritual, emotional, intellectual, physical, vocational, financial, and social wellness.

That became the vision for the Source of Wellness Collective Center.

This mission is deeply personal because it reflects my own journey. After more than thirty years in ministry, I have witnessed countless lives touched by God's grace, yet I have also seen sincere believers continue to struggle beneath the weight of brokenness.

I understand that struggle because I have lived it.

The greatest healing in my own life did not come through another person or through my circumstances changing. It came through an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ and discovering what it truly means to be loved by Him. He didn't simply improve my life.

He made me whole.

That is why I believe so deeply in this work. I know there is only one source of lasting healing, freedom, and wholeness.

My prayer is that every person who becomes part of this community will discover hope for today and a lifelong relationship with the only One who can truly heal us and make us whole.
