Ministry Philosophy

God sets the lonely in families (Psalm 68:6). We believe that lives will be genuinely transformed as they are brought into the family of God, incorporated into a faithful church family, and surrounded by mentors who themselves are healthy, growing believers in Jesus Christ.

Overview

The Wayside Center in Elgin is a place where the church can connect with the homeless and needy in their community. Guests come to the Center for food, clothing, and laundry - but receive much more! They are connected with counselors, Bible Studies and programs that can lead them to a godly and growing life.

Since 1993, the Wayside Center in Elgin has been transforming the lives of the hurting and needy. With the help of faithful volunteers, the Wayside Center helps over 200 individuals every month with practical, life-altering services. As a daytime shelter, the Center operates a job skills program, life skills classes, a job liaison program and one-on-one mentoring relationships while providing lockers, showers, laundry services, meals, two daily Bible studies and personal motivational case management.
