THE CENTER’S MISSION AND VISION

The Center was conceived as a dream of the late Reverend Paul T. Sanders. That dream became a reality in 1932 and has prospered over the last seventy-five years. It is still in the process of fulfillment. The dream is more than a place—it is a facility, a program, and a philosophy. Most of all, The Center is about people.

•We help people reestablish and strengthen the spiritual and emotional foundations of their lives;

•We reach out with care and faith to enliven the human spirit with the consciousness of God's ever presence;
