Need a place to sleep?

But now the Lord my God has given me rest...1Kings 5:9
 

Emergency Shelter

The Emergency Shelter is a temporary place for men who are looking for a clean, safe place to spend the night.

It is designed to address the immediate transitional needs of men trying to find their way through a lost job, a lost home, a lost loved one, the loss of relationships, or loss of direction. These men need a hand up - encouragement to seek that next level of progress - not just another hand out.

Each guest is provided dinner, a shower, clean pajamas, a bed with clean sheets, and breakfast the next morning.

Many of these men suffer from multiple issues that have led to the downward spiral of living in the streets. Some choose to move to the next level in our residential programming. By making that commitment, they gain access to case management services, educational classes, relapse prevention, career counseling, and employment search services.
