The Spiritual Care Mission

1. Serving people with compassion while the Holy Spirit transforms their lives
2. Meeting the physical (safety), emotional and spiritual needs of others
3. Making disciples as we reveal Christ to others
4. Connecting people to local churches, faith and/or community organizations

The Spiritual Care Vision

A team that serves with compassion for the purpose of fostering deeper relationships and connecting to community.

With this in mind, the Spiritual Care Team envisions a future where:

1. We serve with skill and professionalism
2. We are champions of change (with particular emphasis on Housing First)
3. We are mobile – able to meet people in our facility or in the community
4. We creatively address the needs of those we serve while supporting their spiritual and emotional concerns
5. We see the kingdom of God growing through salvation stories and by connecting those we serve to a local church for discipleship

NEW PROGRAM- Life’s Healing Choices:

We’ve all been hurt by other people, we’ve hurt ourselves, and we’ve hurt others. And as a result, every single one of us ends up with some sort of hurt, hang-up, or habit. But the question we all face is, Where do we go from here?

Life’s Healing Choices offers freedom from our hurts, hang-ups, and habits through eight healing choices that promise true happiness and life transformation using the Beatitudes of Jesus as a foundation. S

This is a DVD based, 8 week study and workbook that focuses on one of the 8 CR Recovery Principles each week.  It is a great introduction to the principles of Celebrate Recovery. 

Through making each of these choices, you too will find God’s pathway to wholeness, growth, spiritual maturity, happiness, and healing. You’ll find real answers, real hope, and a real future — one healing choice at a time.
