Our mission is to provide "Legal Aid Ministry" through a comprehensive program of educational outreach, legal assistance, and conflict resolution services to empower the powerless, give hope to the hopeless and show mercy and compassion to those in need. While faith motivates our desire to serve, we are nonsectarian and in no way limit our services to any race, color, sex, age, national origin, religion or any other basis other than emphasizing services for the poor.

Most of our major programs – legal and conciliation – are free, except for very small and affordable administrative fees. This ensures that those who need our services can obtain them regardless of their ability to pay.

Prayer and Faith

When a client and their family is in trouble, often they need religious or spiritual encouragement during a time of stress or crisis. Many of our counselors and attorneys feel privileged to say a prayer and offer a word of encouragement for their clients and their families. This is never forced upon a client but many appreciate this spiritual encouragement.

Many of our educational resources reference the Bible for practical wisdom and guidance in setting priorities and guiding morals.
