The Hub: urban ministries

The Hub is on a mission to give everyone in our city access to a restored life! We do that through RESCUE, RELATIONSHIP, RESOURCES, & RECOVERY.

Rescue: Rescue from toxic physical situations and circumstances is the beginning of restoration in a person’s life. Physical surroundings and dangerous environments can create a trap, holding a person captive forever. Exit from direct danger, unhealthy environments, abuse and exploitation is key for restoration to begin.

Relationship: A relationship with God and access to safe, healthy relationships is the fuel of restoration. Access to vital relationships directly impacts a person’s identity, their self-esteem, their emotional health and their future.

Resources:  In order for full restoration to happen in a person’s life, their basic needs must be met. A restored life begins with a healthy and safe place to live, access to food and clothing and the ability to pursue an education and become employed.

Recovery: Recovery is an important step in the restoration of a person’s life. Addiction must be dealt with for a person to be truly free. Recovery is not limited to substance abuse. Recovery from mental illness, trauma, exploitation and the side effects of poverty allows a person to be fully restored, knowing who they are and what they are capable of becoming.

We do that through our two programs; The Lovewell Center & Purchased: Not for Sale

The Lovewell Center gives rescue, relationships, resources and recovery to people experiencing homelessness and poverty through an empowering model that encourages earning and participation.

Purchased: Not for Sale provides rescue, relationships, resources, and recovery for the sexually exploited and sex trafficked.
