InWord Ministries is a Lake Toxaway-based nonprofit with deep roots in the schools and communities of the Rosman area. With direct, daily access to students, teachers, coaches, and administrators across six Transylvania County schools — from TC Henderson Elementary through Brevard College — InWord operates on the front lines of student life, showing up in hallways, locker rooms, classrooms, and on athletic fields to offer support, encouragement, and practical resources where they’re needed most. Each week, the organization reaches approximately 400 students, educators, and coaches.
InWord’s approach is relational and community-centered, built on the simple goals of inviting, interacting, and inspiring. A significant part of that work is meeting immediate physical needs — providing meals for athletic teams between games, food for early morning gatherings, and teacher and staff appreciation events that strengthen the broader school community.
Lake Toxaway Charities is proud to support InWord Ministries’ programming across three areas: summer sports and youth camps focused on teamwork and character development; extended outreach efforts providing meals, materials, and ongoing student engagement throughout the school year; and a Student Leadership Training initiative for middle and high school students — including a 5th Grade Leadership Development program — that equips young people with the confidence and skills to make a positive difference in their schools and community.
