Overview
Mission
Our vision as a residential campus ministry is to take the homeless, addicted, and outcast from skid row to a land flowing with milk and honey. We want to free people who are enslaved by sin and addiction by receiving them into our recovery program and introducing them to christ and the twelve steps of recovery. Our goal is to disciple our residents through a twelve-month crisis residential treatment program. Not only will our brothers and sisters be afforded a treatment program that provides real tools to succeed in breaking the endless cycle of addiction, but we will provide vocational re-training, job placement, half-way housing, and a church community that they never have to unplug from that is recovery friendly.

It is our belief that just providing treatment is not enough. Real recovery begins after treatment and spiritual principles are applied in real world situations. Our goal is to include life-time support for the recovering person. Our approach is holistic understanding the addict is a very spiritually sick person. We realize addiction is a life and death delimma. At outcast ministries, we believe the homeless and addicted deserve as much respect and dignity as any other sinner saved by grace. We are here to serve christ, our community, and anyone seeking to break the bondage of slavery to addiction. Every freed soul is our testimony and business card. It is our desire to equip the saints of god to go out into the world and become "broadcast instead of "outcast" our motto is "no one left behind- and we sincerely believe that "faith without works is dead"
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
