SOS Center Values
Service – We commit to serve God by helping others
Faith – We illustrate by words and actions that communities are uplifted when Christian values are taught and practiced
Peace – We commit to provide an atmosphere of peace and love
In addition to the above Values, there are some things that are a part of the “climate” of an organization like the SOS Center. They permeate from top to bottom and end to end. We will all be rewarded if we can keep the SOS Center as:
A pleasant place. Our conversations and interactions reflect the joy in our hearts and the happiness we find in each other.
A Christian place. Christ broke many barriers of race and caste in being accepting of all and offering healing and hope. We strive to be Christ-like.
A healthy place. From the no smoking rule to healthy meal planning, we hope to show a consistent, day-by-day connection between what we teach and what we do. Many of our volunteers and students are affected by societal, cultural and environmental factors that contribute to poor health. We hope not to add to these but to counter them.
A secure place. The Center has designed and installed safety features that we think will protect our students and volunteers. We also acknowledge that much of our security is in our Lord as protector.
A helpful place. This is our “reason for being” and the answer we give to people who ask, “Why are you here?”
Our place. All associated with the SOS Center have a feeling of “ownership” of the ministry that occurs here.
A unique place. We think the statements above describe a truly unique place of learning, respect, acceptance and Christian values.
