Mission Statement
The mission of Compassion in the Streets is to provide compassionate, Christ-centered ministry to the practical and spiritual needs of the homeless and those incarcerated.
Vision Statement
Our vision for Compassion in the Streets is to be an organization that lives and proclaims the Gospel of Jesus Christ. By conducting ministry that meets both practical and spiritual needs, we envision a transformation in the lives of those we serve, in effect “changing a generation one heart at a time.”
Value Statement
The core of our values is providing compassionate and Christ-centered ministry to those Christ came to serve, the oppressed, the hungry, the captive, the blind, the lowly, the alien, the orphan, and the widow.
This involves...
Holistic Ministry
As exemplified by Christ Himself, we believe that Christ-centered, compassionate ministry must address both physical and spiritual needs; therefore our approach to ministry addresses the development of the whole person
Integrity
We live out the faith that we profess, serving with reverence and humility as our motivators, rather than self-fulfillment.
Replication
Just as the imitation of Christ produces Christ-like behavior, we believe that by investing in the lives of people and by training churches and individuals, our mission is being replicated.
Respect
We respect those we serve, believing that they are our brothers and sisters, and to serve them is a privilege.
