Who We Are

Mission Statement

To empower individuals who have disabilities and their families to live in their community by meeting their spiritual, emotional and physical needs.

Recipient of 2005 The Arc of Indiana Community Living Award.

Core Values

That all people are made in God's image in order to serve Him in all arenas of life.

That human life has become through sin, and one of sin's consequences is suffering.

That Christ bears our grief, carries our sorrows, and heals our brokenness in body and spirit.

That in order to live fully, now and forever, we must have a personal faith in Jesus as Savior.

That we are called to personal salvation and a life of thankful and obedient response

 

Our confession has at least the following implications:

Christ clearly teaches the sanctity of life, no matter how severe the disabling condition.

Christ's example and the law of love demand that we compassionately respond to the needs of persons who have disabilities and to their families; we must walk together in our suffering.

We must remove any architectural, attitudinal or communication barriers that impede the message of salvation or hinder the participation of any person in the life of the church.

We must enable the spiritual, intellectual, social, emotional, and physical development of all persons so they may respond obediently to God's call of discipleship.

We must make public the gifts of people whom society defines as disabled, so they may participate mutually in our interdependent family.
