"Most people just want to be happy! But happiness is fleeting. Joy is a more profound and long-lasting experience. When you have joy, your mood remains stable and calm despite your circumstances. Take the time to discover your joy for life!"
- Dr. Michelle Richards (2006)
Our Mission
We exist to heal the brokenhearted so you may discover your joy for life!
"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord."
Luke 4:18-19 AKJ
