We are a community of believers respecting the dignity of all and supporting the journey of each person. With compassionate presence, we inspire HOPE, HEALING and PEACE to the poor and marginalized of society. We provide a safe and welcoming place where we can learn from one another. Our invitation is extended to all regardless of race, social status or religious affiliation.

Together, WE:

  • ENCOURAGE –bringing courage and support to the poor in response to their physical, spiritual and educational needs.

  • LEAD – leading the poor by example and sharing the Gospel of life.

  • EDUCATE – teaching the poor a wide range of skills (Nutrition, Healthcare, GED, Computer class, Veteran’s Career Program.)

  • EMPOWER – enabling the poor to make positive changes in their personal lives and encouraging self-sufficiency.


We extend an invitation to

“COME AND SEE.”
