Our Mission:
Empower change with love and dignity by helping our neighbors overcome today’s challenges and build a better tomorrow.
Our Beliefs
We believe
our neighbors are defined as any person in need.
We believe
our neighbors often have multiple needs, not just financial or physical ones, and we believe a caring Christian connection will help meet some of those additional needs.
We believe
in not duplicating services that exist in our community; instead, we work together with local churches and community agencies to strengthen the social safety net for our neighbors in need.
We believe
accomplishing our goals is a result of strong partnerships with local churches and community partners.
We believe
in the power of forgiveness as an important aspect of making real change and promoting personal change over time.
We believe
the support and development of our staff and volunteers provide the process for future maturation and growth of our ministry goals.
We believe
respect, care, support, and accountability are the basis of a loving relationship with our neighbors.
We believe
in the power of Christian grace-you receive more than you think you deserve, and we seek to live this out in our programs.
We believe
Love Thy Neighbor does not and shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion (creed), gender, age, national origin (ancestry), disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or military status, in any of its activities or operations.
