Community Integration: Strengthening partnerships with local organizations and community stakeholders to harness collective resources and knowledge, maximizing the impact of our efforts.

This vision is guided by our heart to love people forward, ensuring that as we grow, we continue to hold steadfast to our unique model of serving the whole person.

Values:

1. Every person is created in the image of God, has intrinsic worth, and should be treated with dignity and respect.

2. A community flourishes best when we love our neighbors as ourselves.

3. People trying to improve their lives or escape poverty often face complex barriers and need an individualized, multi-faceted approach that addresses informational, relational, material, and spiritual poverty.

4. Change best occurs in the context of relationship. We need one another in order to grow and must have positive relationships in order to take significant steps forward.

5. People who offer help are enriched and changed just as much, if not more, than those who receive help.

6. We can accomplish more if we work together. We avoid duplication, and everyone's positive outcomes increase.

7. We have an abundance of time, talent, and resources in our community and, if they are well organized and engaged, everyone in the community will be lifted up.
