Volunteers of America is a church without walls. Since 1896, they have answered God’s call to transform lives by reaching and uplifting America’s most vulnerable.

They do this through a ministry of service led by more than 16,000 professionals, working across the country to touch the lives of 1.5 million people each year. They seek to serve the needs of the whole person (mind, body and spirit) by bringing together the human service agency and the church. They provide assistance to people of all faiths and never require those they serve or those they employ to participate in worship services or to acknowledge specific beliefs. Yet, from their very beginning, Volunteers of America’s work has been and continues to be motivated by God’s love. They have answered the call to be a ministry of service that sets Volunteers of America apart.

Volunteers are the backbone of our retreats. You’ll be paired with a Retreat Family (a family living through childhood cancer) to care for, serve and act as “host” over the weekend. During the weekend, you will care for kids, facilitate fun activities, and simply love and serve these families.  

When you serve at Lighthouse, you have the unique opportunity to invest in families while creating a special memory that will strengthen you and your own family. Thanks to you, this is the first time many of these families will have time to just be a family again since diagnosis. Activities of the weekend include ropes course, archery, bb gun range, marked hiking trails, hayrides, crafts, and more! 

For more information, please visit their website or send an email.

Volunteer for a one-time event or consider an on-going activity. If you have a “heart” for seniors and would like to make a difference in their lives, we invite you to join us.

There are many choices to choose from, helping with crafts, playing bingo, checkers, puzzles, or entertain with a musical instrument. You can serve food in the dining room, teach computer skills to residents, serve at the weekend social from 3-5pm (assisting residents to and from the event), enjoy getting to know a new friend with one on one visits, read the Bible or other books, during holiday season deliver the many, many flowers that arrive!

We would also love for volunteers to come in and interview our World War II veterans, so we can record their stories of the time they served our country in the war!

God has taught us the importance of holistic community transformation. It is necessary to invest into the entire network of people: leaders, churches, parents/guardians, children, schools, medical resources, etc. That is why Hope in Our City will focus on entire communities.

Our strategy is that through building relationships we will be able to develop individuals in the seven specific areas of language, employment, education, life-skills, citizenship, health and spiritual development. An individual bettering themselves in these areas will lead to a better community, which leads to a stronger city, which leads to a healthier nation and ultimately a world filled with hope today and for all eternity through belief in Jesus.

The primary purpose of Royal Family KIDS camps is to give foster children ages 6-12 a week of positive memories and royal treatment in a Christian camp environment. 

When a kid goes to Royal Family KIDS Camp they receive the attention and encouragement of an adult camp counselor and his/her “buddy camper”. In addition, each camper is also exposed to a variety of fun activities, designed for their success and to build self-esteem.

For most of these children, it’s the best week of the year – a special time when they can focus on having fun and enjoy being a kid.

God has taught us the importance of holistic community transformation. It is necessary to invest into the entire network of people: leaders, churches, parents/guardians, children, schools, medical resources, etc. That is why Hope in Our City will focus on entire communities.

Our strategy is that through building relationships we will be able to develop individuals in the seven specific areas of language, employment, education, life-skills, citizenship, health and spiritual development. An individual bettering themselves in these areas will lead to a better community, which leads to a stronger city, which leads to a healthier nation and ultimately a world filled with hope today and for all eternity through belief in Jesus.
