In recent years, mental health awareness has become a critical issue globally and here at home in our local community where many of our resident’s struggle with loneliness, addiction, and even mental illness. Recognizing the need for a compassionate and inclusive response, through our “Mission Action Plan” we have identified the need for us to become the soul of the community not by expecting people to come to us, but rather us going out to them.
We have developed a collaborative approach working together with other faith communities, community organizations, and the Township of West Lincoln. Calling this joint initiative, “Unified West Lincoln,” our collective goal is to foster a “safe, secure, and supportive” community within West Lincoln, regardless of faith, belief, culture, or identity.
