We have a rich history of working hand-in-hand with local and global agencies to provide meaningful outreach opportunities and respond to needs. We strive to create sustainable change, equity and dignity for the most vulnerable by seeing and serving Christ in all persons, loving our neighbors as ourselves, and advocating for justice and peace.
