Proximity was launched in 2018 by Leah Williams in New York City. Due to the pandemic, it took a hiatus and has since been reborn. Leah was inspired to start Proximity after visiting L’Abri in Huemoz, Switzerland, an Acts 2-themed retreat center started by theologian & philosopher, Francis Schaffer.

Leah Williams, Founder & President
The first event Leah ever hosted was her Sweet 16 party when she invited the entire marching band over to her house on a moment’s notice. She is known amongst some as a legend. (But really, she was the only one with a pool.)

Joshua Nelson, Vice President
Josh likes to meet and host people. Since Josh is a movie-buff, he would invite his friends over to watch the Academy Awards and make them lasagna. Unfortunately, they only came for the lasagna and ignored his lectures about the beauty of cinema. It’s ok, Josh is resilient and still welcoming to all. Especially if they want to hear him lecture about movies.
