Mission

The Bethany Compassion Center exists to minister to the emotional, physical, and spiritual needs of people throughout our community by bringing hope to the vulnerable and care to the marginalized in Jesus’ name.

Vision

We live out this mission by sharing the hope and love of Christ while meeting basic needs and offering long-term solutions that transform lives.

Values

· Dignity. We believe in treating each person with dignity and respect regardless of their ethnic, socioeconomic, or religious status.

· Hope. We believe true hope is found in a redemptive relationship with Jesus Christ.

· Transformation. We believe transformation occurs in the hearts of those serving and being served, as God redeems hurting people and broken situations.

Purpose

See a hurt and heal it. Find a need and meet it. Look for emptiness and fill it. Detect hopelessness and change it. Watch for aloneness and comfort it.

Foundation

Jesus says in Matthew 25: “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.” ...When did we do this? “…whatever you did for one of the least of these…you did for me.’
