We believe Salem-Keizer will become the healthiest community in Oregon, truly the City of Shalom.

We engage People of Faith and People of Goodwill to transform the community, neighborhood by neighborhood.

We Build Bridges among Stakeholders:  people, churches, schools, agencies, cultures, business, non-profits, and neighborhoods. Anyone, Anywhere, Anyhow.

We plow the ground; set the table; open doors; make matches; and prevent train wrecks.

We help the Body of Christ practice the sacred art of Servanthood.

We sing the praises of other organizations, initiatives, and causes.

We leverage resources and get bang for the buck:  great R.O.I. !

We believe in “City-as-Neighborhood,” i.e. smaller cohesive geographies, and neighbors helping neighbors.

We support “Churches as Neighborhood (CaN) Centers.”

We use “Lightning Rods” to get the job done.

One person can impact a life. 

Together we can transform the City.
