  • Ministry of the Month-Life Recaptured

    Life Recapture’s Mission is to offers women who are trapped in sexual exploitation a way to refuge and freedom. Working with the community, we strive to eradicate sex trafficking through awareness, prevention, and restoration. We offer a complete approach to bringing solutions to end sex trafficking and heal survivors through physical and mental health care, case management, spiritual guidance, and mentorship. Their Vision isThrough the teaching of God's words and love, we are committed to end the epidemic of sex slavery and oppression. Life Recaptured provides a safe and compassionate haven where women can find healing, education, and  empowerment to take back their lives.” They focus on three key goals at Life recaptured. AWARENESS Training is pivotal. We provide the most updated information and equip our community with awareness of this everchanging industry. PREVENTION- Impacting the Law: Working closely with our local law enforcement as well as contacts in other areas, we are making an impact for change. RESTORATION- Our residential safe homes provide refuge and freedom for our residents. As we strive to transform as many lives as possible, strive with us. "LIFE RECAPTURED IS NOT A TEMPORARY SOLUTION, BUT A LIFE-LONG STRATEGY FOR RESTORATION."

  • Trinity Lutheran Work Day

    Be sure to mark your calendar for Saturday, August 2 for the work day at Trinity Lutheran School. This will be a time of yard work outside and preparing the interior for the start of school.
