OUR STORY

Vision From the Founder

At Grace & Time, my vision is to build a place where brokenness meets grace and where the past no longer holds power over anyone’s future. I know what it is to carry shame, to feel like mistakes disqualified me, and to wonder if life would ever be different. I’ve been the one without stability, the one who survived on faith alone, the one who thought, “This must be all there is.”

But God.

God met me in my lowest places. He showed me that failure is not final, that His love covers every wrong turn, and that His timing can turn ashes into beauty. My story is not perfect — but it is redeemed. And because of that, my vision is not just to hand out food or clothing, but to offer something deeper: restoration, forgiveness, and a reminder that your past does not define you.

This ministry is for the ones who think they’ve gone too far, made too many mistakes, or lost too much to start again. It’s for the single mother who cries herself to sleep, the father who feels unworthy of his children, the young person who thinks one decision ruined everything. To each of them, we say: you are not your past, and you are not alone.

At Grace & Time, we provide housing, food, clothing, transportation, and Christ-centered support — but we go further. We offer job skills and training opportunities that many people are denied because of their past — in administration, marketing, retail, culinary, and beyond. Our vision is to open doors that the world tries to keep closed, equipping people not just to survive, but to thrive.

I believe transformation takes time — but with God’s grace, everything changes. My vision is to see lives redeemed, families restored, and generations set free. I want every person we serve to one day stand boldly and declare with confidence:
“I Am Not My Past.”
