About Us

Following God's lead in helping adults with disabilities become all HE created them to be. 

Our staff family bring decades of experience working with children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Each one of us feel "called" and honored to work with these precious adults. We consider it a ministry...and a passion.

We want to see our Pals succeed in a world that doesn't always see their value. 

We stand firmly on scripture that states we are ALL created in the image of God. 

"So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them." Gen 1:27

Our Story

 

In 2024 all 5 of us left another local nonprofit. At the urging of local parents, and after MUCH prayer

we decided to start something new, something different.   

"See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland".  Isaiah 43:19 

 

 

We were weary of these adults being treated like children, or people without a voice and the ability to make choices. We were tired of the "same old thing" and we decided we did not want more worksheets or coloring sheets for our adults.

We want our Pals to have EXPERIENCES.

We want them to experience life and discover new interests and develop passions of their own. We want them to have friendships and community that support them throughout their life. We want to see them grow in every aspect of their lives.
