Carpenter's Place is a faith-based
organization that is extremely practical in its approach. We recognize the importance of
faith and the spiritual component of mankind, as evidenced by our mission statement:
"Carpenter's Place provides the tools
necessary for rebuilding the lives of the homeless. Inspired by Christ's compassion,
Carpenter's Place offers direction with accountability to people with broken lives,
helping them find peace with God, themselves, and their communities."
Through out history, and in our daily work
at Carpenter's Place, we see men and women who believe in the existence of God yet
struggle to know and understand their individual relationship to and connection with God.
We also see the settling effect of a person who is at peace with God. Faith is a great
healer and stabilizer, as well as the greatest source of moral and ethical direction in
life. Helping a person attain peace with God can greatly assist in the stabilization
process for other areas of life as well.
By definition, a faith-based or
faith-centered organization must have a faith that it espouses. We strive to uncomplicate
the way to peace with God and as such, our faith statement is relatively simple:
God: Jesus has opened the way, and shown the
way, to attain peace with God. He is our ultimate example of compassion and teacher in
matters of faith.
The Bible: The collection of writings
commonly known as The Bible is utilized as our instruction manual for matters of faith and
healthy living.
Organizationally, we leave matters of
denominational or doctrinal detail to each individual's own interpretation and
understanding.
