Mental illness tries to isolate and silence but we are social because we believe the suffering are worth speaking up for.
What is Faith Friendship?
We serve and care for your loved ones
By living in Community and supported by staff who care, individuals who are afflicted by mental illness or other disabilities can thrive!
At Faith Friendship Ministries, our 73-bed state license Personal Care Home serves those with mental illness, intellectual disabilities, special needs, and others who need a caring, supportive living arrangement to help them be stable, supported, successful, and fulfilled. Most of our residents are on low and fixed incomes and cannot afford the cost of care.
We recognize how important it is to have a place to call home.
To not only have acquaintances but also true friends.
To be cared for regardless of income limitations
We aim to not just offer traces of spirituality for those who wish but also an atmosphere of faith that demonstrates the love of God and the compassion of a family, no matter who you are or what you believe.
To have a place to belong, to be known, to be loved, to be valued, and to be seen and cared for.
Our organization helps meet all the needs of our precious residents. We provide meals, laundry, medicine management, recreation, housekeeping, social, daily living needs, friendship, psychiatric and nursing support, case management, and community.

FFM’s COMMUNITY OF LEADERS, FAMILY, AND FRIENDS GATHERED AT THE STATE CAPITOL ASKING GOVERNOR SHAPIRO AND ELECTED LEADERS TO PROVIDE EMERGENCY FUNDING TO KEEP THE VILLA - THEIR HOME OPEN!
MEET SOME OF OUR PRECIOUS FAMILY MEMBERS
The 24/7 supportive services our residents receive living at the FFM Villa, care from the medical and psychiatric community, and involvement of local churches, businesses, and individuals give them a chance to live stable and even thriving lives. Mental illness and other disabilities don’t define them, but they are a reality, and living alone is not healthy or safe.
The funding for such care is less than 50% of its costs, so FFM has to raise charitable donations to bridge the gap. As regulations get stricter, the cost goes up, but FFM knows that God calls us to care for the least of these, and in doing so, God will provide the manna we need.
Our Higher Purpose
God has placed in each person a need for other people – a need for the love of a family.
At Faith Friendship Ministries, our goal is to help the men and women we serve feel that love. We’ve created Faith Friendship Villa to be just like a home – warm, cozy, full of activity. Our residents are like brothers and sisters – laughing together, working together, helping each other. We encourage an environment of respect, compassion and love – just like in any family.
We want to love like Jesus did.
We endeavor to provide those with serious mental health issues affordable, high quality residential opportunities that assist them with their individual needs. In addition, we operate to provide guidance for all residents in their journey with 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 Residents do not have to have any faith affiliation to qualify for our program.
