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
