Eye
Who We Are

We are a ministry devoted to understanding the root causes of homelessness, engaging its presence in our own community, equipping the Body of Christ to be a leader in its restorative process, and sharing with the public the wisdom we have found.


Heart
what we do

We seek to love every person who comes through our doors by creating an environment where stability in Christ can be found. We define love as giving what is needed to bring about lasting joy and peace while maintaining a holistic perspective.

Handshake
how TO help

Prayer, volunteering, physical donations, and financial support are ways you can partner with us to provide a home — a place of love and stability — to those searching for hope. As the Body of Christ, we believe each person plays a unique role in being the hands and feet of Jesus.


Cross
why we serve

We believe Jesus has commissioned the Body of Believers to be ambassadors of His love to those who are weary and burdened by this world. Shelter, clothing, and food are important and necessary, but it is peace found in Jesus that truly transforms a person's life.


OUR MISSION

Is to help the homeless find their way home by giving what is needed to bring about lasting joy, peace, and stability.


Shelter, sustenance, clothing, teaching, and Christian mentorship are elements of the stable environment we provide to expand joy and peace in each person’s life, family, friendships, and community.

OUR VISION
For every person shattered by homelessness to find Shalom with God, themselves, and others.

The ancient Hebrew meaning of Shalom was to make something whole. Shalom is a multidimensional state of complete well-being; physical, psychological, social, and spiritual. It flows from a person’s relationship with God, self, and others being made right.

RE-examining homelessness

The term homelessness historically has been used to describe all outcomes that take place when human habitation is fractured. People without housing, for any reason, are homeless. After 30 years of ministering to homeless families and individuals we have discovered that homelessness is just one of three main realities arising when human habitation is fractured. If we ever hope to heal the brokenness of these fractured states we must first pursue a deep understanding of the causes, types, and responses required.

Join the story

Your support provides children, their parents, and single adults with a home where they can shed their pain and chaos and come to find joy, peace, and stability. Every person who comes through our doors has a story; your supports helps them overcome homelessness and create stability.
