Our Vision
God reclaiming and restoring the vulnerable through his church.
God has a special place in his heart for those most vulnerable – the orphan, the widow, and the poor – in a world marred by sin. We believe that God is at work reclaiming the vulnerable through the atoning death of Jesus Christ and restoring them to his perfect will in all areas of their lives. We also believe that God has established the church as the primary agent for reclaiming and restoring the vulnerable.
Our Mission
To engage, equip, and empower the church to bring gospel hope to the Vulnerable.
God has given Reclaimed a specific role to play in pursuing this vision. Reclaimed exists to come alongside the church to help it be more effective and sustainable in serving the vulnerable. We serve the church so that the church can fulfill its mandate to serve the vulnerable.
