Our Purpose

Our purpose is to provide those with serious mental health issues affordable, high quality residential opportunities that assist them according to individual need, while preserving their dignity as one created in the image of God.  

Through structured care environments, independent living services, and community based supports, we will foster family-like relationships among those we serve, in an atmosphere that demonstrates God’s love expressed through Jesus Christ.

 

Our Mission:

Our mission is to demonstrate Christian love by providing supportive care and residential services, primarily to those with mental health issues and limited resources, affirming and empowering each person as a part of our family. Persons are accepted regardless of religious beliefs.

Since 2002, Faith Friendship has been sharing the love of God to whosoever it encounters. We believe that our residents are a gift to us. We are honored to serve them and make their life as amazing as possible, regardless of their income levels. Most of our residents only get $45 day to live on. The actual cost hovers between $90-110/DAY

This means three things:

1) We have to raise the money needed to meet their needs. The difference betwen $45 and $90/day is huge. This is why over 410 Personal Care Homes, have shuttered their doors over the past 5-6 years. As much as they wanted to they just couldn’t afford to care for vulnerable residents like ours.

2) We have to be really good stewards of the resources we have, to ensure we stretch every dollar far and wide.

3) We have a responsibility to help transform pubic opinion on the reality of serving the poor and the afflicted. We hope this will spur others on to help and encourage generosity of thought, deed and giving, in support of a real and worthy cause that is largely misunderstood in society.

Stop by or call us to schedule a tour. We know you will “feel” the difference and love in the atmosphere. In your service, Tammi Morris, Executive Director

Our Core Values

  1. That everything we have belongs to God, and everything we do shall be done in a way that honors and glorifies Him, without compromise (Matthew 22:37-38).

  2. That every individual has been created by God, and that those we serve are precious in His sight. He desires to give them a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11) and we are to be one of His vehicles for doing so.

  3. That due to their disabilities or limitations, those we serve are often economically disadvantaged. Therefore a primary focus of our efforts is to reach out to those who may not be able to afford the care provided by other providers (Deuteronomy 15:11).

  4. That due to misunderstandings about mental and physical disabilities, these members of our society lack a voice and sense of belonging in the community. We desire to be an advocate to this end (Proverbs 31:8-9).

  5. That what we do for those who are often considered among the least of our society is done to the Lord (Matthew 25:40). We are to treat others with respect, dignity, and Christ-like love, meeting them where they are, and helping them to become all they can be.

  6. That although we are commanded by God to meet the physical needs of those around us, their greatest need is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. However, while we will assist anyone in seeking this relationship, we will not coerce, intimidate, or attempt to mandate such a decision among those we serve (Joshua 24:15).

  7. That we seek to make a positive contribution to our community, and conduct ourselves in a way that is considerate and respectful of our neighbors (Matthew 22:39).

  8. While we intend to work in close cooperation with a variety of Christian churches, we will work in a spirit of non-denominational Christian unity (John 17:23).

  9. That our staff would be seen as gifted members of our family, endowed with God-given value and deserving of encouragement, compassion, and respect (Ephesians 6:5-9).

  10. That our staff will view their work not as a job, but as a calling to serve. However, as valued members of our family, we will seek to compensate our staff at levels comparable to similar positions in secular professions, as the resources of the ministry allow (1 Corinthians 9:7-14).

CORE VALUES = Quality of Life

At Faith Friendship we believe all people deserve safe, affordable housing. For those who have special needs or suffer with mental illness afflictions, extra care is sometimes needed. That care should not be dependent on income.

That’s why your support means so much
