Goals and Beliefs


OUR GOALS ARE:

  • To provide people an opportunity to receive salvation in Jesus Christ, spiritual discipleship, and growth.
  • To locate, and bring the poor or homeless person to the place of healing, where they can enter and successfully complete community job training and other programs, receive low cost housing and reintegrate into society.
  • To work with others in the city to help form programs and policies using our experience with homeless persons.
  • To bring awareness of poor and homeless issues and needs to the attention of the community.
  • To work to change laws which are discriminatory to homeless and poor, of all nationalities.
  • To legally give services to Hispanic and other refugees.  A safe place; a free, Spanish-language day shelter with lunch, Bible studies, ESL, counseling, clothing, laundry facilities, bathrooms, showers.

OUR BELIEFS:
  • We believe in the value of every person as created by God.  No matter what situation he is in or what he has done, there is forgiveness and restoration in Jesus Christ. 
  • We believe that the love of Jesus and the  power of the Holy Spirit is sufficient for every need.
  • We believe that we as Christians are the hands of God extended to touch others and that when we do for others we are doing it for Him.
  • We believe that as Jesus’ primary ministry was in the streets and carried to the people, we also should get out of the walls of our churches and bring church to the people.
  • We believe that all Christians are members together of one church body in Christ, and so all Christians, regardless of denomination, are welcome to minister with us to the poor, and homeless.
