About us
Our Core Values
Jesus-centered - we are committed to following the example of Jesus as a community and to honoring His teachings to love God and our Neighbor.
Relational - Everything we do should initiate or deepen relationships between people from different walks of life. It is difficult to love someone you don’t know.
Church-focused - We partner with all types of organizations and individuals, but our first focus is equipping the local church to demonstrate God's love by pursuing practical solutions to poverty in their city.
We Value:
Leadership Development and Empowerment - A hot meal is often a starting point, both for the Chruch that wants to help and for people experiencing a crisis, but almost always more is needed. We are committed to seeking solutions that bring complex threads together to restore our community and to empower all sides to participate in that work.
Education - We know much damage has been done when helpers come in without humility and curiosity, therefore we are committed learners. We seek to learn from other communities' successes, to study each other's cultures, and to keep learning about God's vision for mercy and justice. We are committed to cultivating an environment where education is available and prioritized for those seeking to serve and for those who find themselves on the margins.
Innovation- Our commitment is to never be bound by “what we’ve always done” but instead to listen and respond to what is most useful now. We will stay alert and as the needs of our community shift, we will adjust our programming and training accordingly.
ACT JUSTLY. LOVE MERCY. WALK HUMBLY.
