Brief History

"Our programs focus on the needs of youth and families today. At-risk families, a rapidly growing segment of our population, have special needs. They require special programs that build confidence, help them to develop positive relationships , and instill values that will help them make good decisions. We are helping one family at a time, keeping children and families from coming unraveled by bringing them the love and grace of Jesus Christ."
