OUR FOUNDER:
Enrique Melendez
At Standing Together In Christ (S.T.I.X.) Academy, rhythm is more than music, it’s a tool for transformation. Drumming becomes a medium for life lessons, accountability, and self-expression, evolving alongside value-based workshops that reinforce teamwork and personal growth.
We also honor the journey of veterans, offering them a path to healing and renewed purpose through brotherhood and service. By integrating their wisdom and experience into our programming, we create a space where generations uplift one another.
Our initial focus is building a strong community presence, developing curriculum, nurturing relationships, and creating spaces that inspire belonging. Long-term goals include establishing a dedicated facility, expanding mentorship, and deepening our impact where encouragement and transformation matter most.
With support from local leaders, faith communities, and early donors, S.T.I.X. Academy is preparing to make a lasting impact, one heart, one rhythm, one disciple at a time.
