Mission Statement
"To provide a safe and nurturing centre, for pre-teens in the City of Trail, reaching out to our children, in the Love of Christ"
Our practice is to encourage and enable individuals to participate in community life to their full potential.
Sanctuary has been open since September 1998. We have about 50 children 12 and under visiting on an ongoing basis, with about 20-25 children coming each day and about 12-20 for supper each night.
The goal is to provide a safe and very different environment where these children can learn a better way of interacting with each other, the volunteers, and God. We find that many of them are very angry often for good reason. Each day before we open, we pray for God to help us walk the path of love and discipline that these children so badly need. We use a combination of consistent rules, discipline protocols, merit awards, play, counselling, and listening skills, which overtime is having a strong impact on many of our most hurting children.
Some activities we provide are:

Here are some of our many children using the computers that we have available. We have 6 computers that the children can use. Three of them are connected to the internet. The other three are networked together so that the children can use them for games.
