MISSION & PROGRAMS
Our Team’s Mission
Our mission is for the Christian community at large to capture the understanding that there is a group of people with intellectual and physical disabilities who have something tremendous to offer to the church.
We strive to develop our friends with disabilities spiritually while providing opportunities to serve and grow in their faith in Christ. We provide a place of belonging, where our friends can explore their gifts and grow in their self esteem. Our vision is to ultimately create a true Christian community that captures all types of people in its circle, of which our friends with disabilities are a vital, but often missing part.
