About Us

VIDEO
A favorite slogan "simply love them until they ask why", is more than just a catchy phrase. Christ ministered to the poor on the streets. He met people at their point of need. He reached out with love to people of all ages and backgrounds and we desire to do the same. We "go to" where the needy are. We mobilize our programs, resources and Christ's love to establish relationships. There is huge relationship building power in meeting practical needs with un-conditional love.

We specialize in practical and relational evangelism. "LOVE GOD - LOVE PEOPLE"

Hundreds of people dedicate thousands of volunteer hours annually putting "hands and feet to the Gospel" through our various out-reach programs. NEXT
