They wish to care for people so that they become whole and grow into the persons God wants them to be.

They strive to be good stewards of the gifts and resources entrusted to us and use them to create a healthy community and, within their means, to respond to the needs of the poor through service and advocacy.
- Trust – Integrity, truthfulness, and straight-forwardness in relationships.
