We serve women during pregnancy, parenting young children and teen moms giving them a safe place when they are in need of housing, support and time to make decisions for themselves and their children. This serves women and teens from various backgrounds, ethnicities, income levels, etc. The common denominator is desiring family style support to grow in relationships, to grow as a parent, to grow in overall health enabling them to offer more to their children then they have received. It fills the gap for women who have aged out of foster care, started in relationships that had to end quickly, leaving domestic violence or long term abusive situations and navigating pregnancy and parenting.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
In our maternity program our goal is to help each woman come to a fully informed decision about her pregnancy, to provide her a neutral place to make her decision, and support to take the needed steps to back up that decision.
Overall it is our goal to fulfill our purpose: To provide Christ-centered services a Christ centered ministry to individuals and families in need.
We do this through our vision of loving, caring, sharing, and giving by God’s grace, anointing, wisdom, and compassion to impact individuals and families for change.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We recently moved to a central location that allows women access to resources and transportation.
We do so through staying connected to community supports and membership in groups such as the Healthy Mother/Healthy Baby coalition, Nurse Family Partnership program, local pregnancy resource centers, and similar community services that provide the supports for women through their pregnancy and parenting children.
We also partner with local churches, businesses, women's groups etc. to fulfill the day to to day needs of the home and to expand the circle of support to each client those living in the maternity home and those attending classes or in our after care program.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
100% effective and completely driven by client need, community resources and longevity of service in the community.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We have established the maternity program in a community that provides all needed supports and services and allows sustainability of staffing and support.
Next is to extend our purpose and launch a similar family living program for exploited girls. This expansion will be launched in another state and requires new staffing. This process and program is outlined on our website.

HOUSE OF HIS CREATION
Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
