Our Process
Bridging Gaps, Building Futures
“And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of these is love.”
1 Corinthians 13:13
Emergency Services
Our initial objective is to meet essential physical needs such as shelter, meals, showers, and laundry. This helps establish stability and lay the foundation that fosters the development of relationships. Once a client’s basic needs are met, our committed team prioritizes any other immediate needs to help individuals progress through our programs effectively.
Faith-Driven Programs
Each client receives personalized support focused on five key areas: physical, emotional, spiritual, social, and vocational. Through our faith-driven programs, the goal is for clients to become rooted in Christ, experience life-changing renewal, learn new life skills, maintain relationships, and pursue sustainable living within supportive community.
Long-Term Housing
Eligible individuals who complete our programs may utilize our transitional Tiny Homes or secure permanent housing independently. We offer ongoing support for clients, including vocational coaching and regular interactions with pastors, advocates, or other Faith Mission staff members, as they obtain employment and sustain independent living.
