Our Mission
Our mission is to assist in the transformation of people by creating and weaving together a cohesive set of resources that promote their physical, emotional, financial, and spiritual wholeness. Sisters in Christ serves as a resource conduit, personal advocate, and supporter for those we serve.
Our Approach
Every day, Sisters In Christ works to confront a fragmented and inadequate community support system for mental health, substance abuse, affordable housing, employment, and family cohesion, particularly for the formerly incarcerated and unhoused in the Kansas City community.
