Organizational Statement of Faith: 

For 130 years, Buckner International has sought to minister to the needs of those Jesus called "the least of these." Or as James wrote in his epistle, "true and undefiled religion is this; to minister to widows and orphans in their distress and to keep oneself unstained by the world." (James 1:27) This is who we are, and we want you to be a part of what we do.

Join us in our quest to improve the lives of at-risk children and their families as we seek to change lives in the name of Jesus Christ.
