When you turn in the driveway, you will park in the gravel parking area. Walk over the footbridge to get to the cabins.

The property is on the left side of the road right after the small brick building with the neon Tropical Tan sign on the side of the building. Look for the Discipleship Focus sign (it is hard to see until you are right in front of the drive) and the address on our mailbox: 2953 Veterans Blvd. If you pass Rob’s Automotive & Transmissions, you have gone too far.
When you turn in the driveway, you will take an immediate left onto the asphalt road. Park and come to the Fullers’ house and Discipleship Focus Office (the first one to the right of the asphalt road). Please try to let us know ahead of time when you think you will arrive.
