Ada Jenkins Center
The Ada Jenkins Center is a non-profit community facility dedicated to working with people as they deal with life’s unforeseen circumstances. “Whether a family has to face illness, job loss, or other life situations,” the Ada Jenkins Center is there to help because of an intrinsinc belief that “all people have the ability to improve their lives” if given the right support.
The Barnabas Center is a nonprofit, nondenominational, Christ-centered counseling, training, and teaching ministry. The Barnabas name, which means “son of encouragement,” communicates their desire to encourage people by coming alongside them, entering into their daily struggles and walking with them toward freedom. The moments in life when everything seems to fall apart are the most poignant opportunities to consider what truly matters. Although God does not promise to deliver us from life’s struggles, He does offer us Himself and promise that He is enough to handle those struggles. True healing and growth lead toward healthy and loving relationships with others and a deepening dependence upon God. Through the Barnabas Center’s counseling, groups and training ministries, they help people find hope within their struggles by applying the Gospel to everyday life.
