Upcoming Events:

The Lily Mission Center’s mission is still in full swing during the COVID 19 Pandemic. Our goal is to still positively impact our community and the families we serve within our programs. For the past several weeks, we have implemented the following plan:

We reach out to the families weekly to inquire about their needs. We ensure that we connect them to the appropriate resources if we cannot meet those needs.

We have been creating individual academic enrichment packets and a new reading book and delivering them to the doorsteps of our families.

We have also been delivering fresh food to doorsteps of the families.

We also email weekly family activities and projects to the families to keep them engaged.

We have a drive through food bank every fourth Thursday of the month.

We plan to continue to wrap our arms around the families who depend on our services.

Support. GUidance. Direction.

The Lily Missions Center is where children, youth and families can come for support, guidance and direction. The resources that are the soul of the Lily Missions Center are assisting youth, adults and families see the present and future possibilities for their lives.

Our core purpose is to enhance the quality of life for youth, adults, and families through faith based understanding of the world around us. Lily Missions Center (LMC) is a faith-based, grassroots organization. Much of the passion and energy that drives the vision for the Center comes from the experience and belief that the faith-based approach to youth development will improve outcomes for “at risk” youth that the traditional human service system may have failed. Lily Missions Center welcomes and serves individuals regardless of their religious belief or affiliation.

THe facility

The LMC facility has the capability to provide a wide range of programming for youth and families. There are four classrooms, a large social/activity area, a fully functioning kitchen, a large gymnasium with a stage, and a fully equipped computer lab.
