Our Faith Affirmations:

- All people are made in the image of God
"So God created human beings in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them." Genesis 1:27

- God cares deeply for every person, especially the most vulnerable
"A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families, He leads out the prisoners with singing; but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land." Psalm 68:5-6

- We experience new life through the grace of God expressed in Jesus Christ
"But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions — it is by grace you have been saved." Ephesians 2:4-5

- We join in Jesus’ mission to bring health, hope, and wholeness to all
"Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness." Matthew 9:35

- We serve in the Spirit of Christ for the glory of God
"And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." Colossians 3:17

Goals:
◦To enable individuals and organizations to help those in the community in need
◦To meet urgent needs, while connecting community members to long term services available in community
◦To have a social service and prevention focus
◦To holistically care for people: physically, mentally, socially, and spiritually, as people feel comfortable

We are faith-based, but volunteers need not be Christians. We expect, however, that volunteers abide by values embodied by Jesus, including honesty, respect, and compassion.
