About Us
Our Story
In 2010 we were told that our son, Joshua, had bipolar disorder and/or schizoaffective disorder. Josh had just turned 17 years old. This “rocked our world” affecting every member of our family. It brought us closer together as a family and also caused turmoil which pushed us apart. It’s been a journey that has changed us and motivated us to make a difference for not only our son, but other families as well.
Our Vision and Mission
- To provide support, structure, care and fellowship to individuals who often feel isolated
- To provide hope and to help each individual reach their highest level of independence and inspire them to reach attainable goals
- To provide assurance to families that the ones entrusted to our care are thriving while living at Way Maker Place
- To learn about each person’s unique gifts as they grow and to prepare them for opportunities which match their gifts and skill level
- To develop a relationship with local employers, volunteer organizations and surrounding community to help our residents participate in the workforce, activities and lives of those around them
- To discover and develop relationships with key partners, donors, and friends to ensure that Way Maker Place will be a welcoming facility that can provide grace, care, stability, and safety for the individual and their family for many years to come; and most important of all
- To provide a place of hope in Christ Jesus.
