This is done by a group of highly relational, Christ-centered, joyful servants comprised of 90 staff and 887 volunteers who shine a light by providing the following;

All services offered in a highly relational manner
A wide-range of integrated services and programs so we can meet people at their point of need and provide a path forward.
Supportive, caring communities in all our programs.
Transformation in the lives of the men, women, and children we serve.
