what we do

We equip the church to care for survivors of sexual abuse through theology and trauma-informed education, we empower leaders and families to respond with Christ-like compassion.

why

Every 68 seconds, an American experiences sexual assault. As followers of Christ, we are called to be a refuge for the wounded and hurting. The church has a unique opportunity to provide a safe haven and combat abuse because of, and through, the Gospel.

the gospel mission

"Whatever you did for one of the least of these... you did for me." — Matthew 25:40. Our mission is rooted in the call to see, serve, and love those who are suffering as if we were serving Christ himself. In all things we seek to bring the message of the resurrection and hope of Jesus to the world.
