The Chester Mission Station of Christ Central Ministries includes our Thrift Store and the Center of Hope. The Thrift Store provides operational funds for our 9-month transitional housing program. The Center provides a safe place for residents to heal and find hope that strengthens them to return to independent living. Addiction recovery, spiritual growth, financial fitness, relational health and overall wellness are all part of the program. We invite the community to join with us in mental wellness workshops and other learning opportunities. Our volunteers and residents learn and grow together as we rejoice in the God of Hope who gives life, peace, and joy. Would you like to join us in spreading hope -- the treasured gift of your time is always appreciated as are financial donations.
