The Platform Longview’s Mission Statement

At The Platform, we are guided by the spirit of the Proverbs 31 woman—resourceful, creative, diligent, and clothed with strength and dignity. Our mission is to cultivate a community where small businesses and families flourish through wisdom, hard work, and generosity.

Like the Proverbs 31 woman, we strive to:

• Empower entrepreneurs to use their God-given talents to provide for their families and bless their communities.
• Uplift women and men of vision by offering a place to share their craftsmanship, creativity, and character.
• Serve with excellence, integrity, and kindness, knowing that our labor is ultimately unto the Lord.
• Impact our city and region by fostering relationships, creating opportunities, and being a light in the marketplace.

We believe The Platform is more than a marketplace—it is a testimony of faith, stewardship, and perseverance, where every business is a reflection of God’s provision and every visitor is welcomed with joy.
