Mission

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
We express our servant heart through the following core values:
Core Values

We value every person as made in the image of God.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Psalm 139:14
Core Values

We value showing the love of Christ through being obedient to God’s word.
Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. James 1:27
Core Values

We value professionalism in our volunteers.
We know we love God’s children if we love God and obey his commandments.
I John 5:2
Core Values

We value community and strive to provide consistent, quality care in a safe and loving environment.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. I Corinthians 13:7
Core Values

We value an open, sincere, and encouraging environment where volunteers can grow as they serve.
If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.
Romans 12:8
Core Values

We value a person’s right to privacy and are committed to confidentiality.
A gossip goes around telling secrets, but those who are trustworthy can keep a confidence.
Proverbs 11:13
