Our Calling

Volunteers of America is a church without walls. Since our founding more than a century ago, we have embraced the call to transform lives by reaching and uplifting the most in need in our communities.

Our calling inspires us to serve individuals of all faiths and backgrounds, ensuring everyone feels seen, valued, and beloved.

Spiritual Care: Honoring the Whole Person

For over 128 years, we have brought our ministry of service to life by meeting people where they are, offering spiritual care and services to people of all faiths. We believe in the power of healing that honors the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. We respect each individual's approach to finding connection and meaning, offering compassionate care that fosters resilience, purpose, and dignity.

Our approach to spiritual care focuses on:

  • Honoring inherent dignity: Embracing the body-mind-spirit connection.
  • Listening with care: Creating space for stories and struggles.
  • Offering a non-judgmental presence: Providing unconditional support.
  • Witnessing resilience: Celebrating the strength found in life’s challenges.
  • Encouraging transformation: Supporting healing and growth in every journey.
