The Ministry

Since 2002, PIN Ministry has served as a support center for the unsheltered homeless and poorest of the poor. Our objective is to alleviate human suffering and create a pathway out of poverty. We believe a holistic approach is needed to restore mind, body, and spirit. Our hope is to make today better, but our goal is to change their tomorrow—and ultimately, as a Christian Ministry, their eternity.

Each winter we also operate an emergency winter shelter program, a cold weather seasonal shelter, in partnership with local churches.

This is street-level ministry. We meet people in crisis and extreme poverty where they are. We love them, serve them, walk with them, and provide opportunity for transformation.
