Mission Statement

 We reach out to the poor and needy of our community with the love and compassion of Christ, giving refuge, hope and healing for a transformed life, empowering them through the Gospel of Jesus Christ to find a new direction for their lives.
 In reaching out, we touch and embrace the poor and needy with open arms.

• By poor and needy, we mean those with limited and/or "no financial resources" and those with no place of residence but most of all those in need of Christ.
• By our city and community, we mean all those areas from which the poor and needy come to us seeking help.
• By love, we mean that unconditional quality of feeling which causes one to embrace the person regardless of the unloveliness of the object --- seeing the need.
• By compassion, we mean that deep inner feeling of sympathy invoked by the suffering seen in the physical, spiritual and emotional lives of the poor and needy.
• By refuge, we mean a place of safety, rest, comfort and renewal. By healing, we mean that result accomplished in the total person through a deep personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
• By transformed life, we mean that process of renewal which comes from a change in thinking and attitude which results in the submission to the will of God.
• By empowering, we mean that realization of the sufficiency of Christ in every area and dimension of life.
