Mission Statement: 

We exist:

1. To help women and families who find themselves in these difficult circumstances. We offer counseling by phone, email, or in person; FOCUS support groups; educational material; and provision for their physical needs according to available funds. Our goals:

* To help them see how valuable they are to God
* To help them become more productive
* To assure them they are not alone
* To point them to Jesus Christ as the stability and focal point of their lives
* To respond swiftly to the needs as they arise

2. To educate and train churches, organizations, support group leaders, and concerned friends and family members about the dynamics of domestic violence and abusive relationships. We offer workshops; presentations; a networking system for support group leaders; and many resource manuals, books, and electronic media on domestic violence.

Organizational Statement of Faith: 

We believe:

a. In the Scriptures, both Old and New Testament, to be the inspired Word of God without error.

b. In one God, who eternally exists in three persons: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit.

c. That all mankind has sinned against God and is therefore separated from God. The only way for mankind to reconcile with God is through repentance of sins, believing that Jesus Christ died on the cross for us and was raised from the dead by God’s power, and accepting by faith His atonement for our sins.

d. That all who profess Christ as Savior and Lord should live in such a manner that would bring glory and honor to Him. We believe that in order to grow stronger in the Christian walk, we need to read the Word and spend quiet time with the Lord each day, as well as faithfully attend a Bible-teaching church and fellowship with other believers.
