OUR HISTORY

A Journey of Purpose & Fulfillment

The story of Finding Something More is one of vision, perseverance, and a deep commitment to positive change. It all began in 2007 when Nancy Rench, our Founder and CEO, conceived of starting a Friendship Fellowship of conversation, coffee and prayer out of her home that would eventually evolve into Finding Something More.
