ABOUT ATLAS
Core Principles:
ATLAS (Attaining Truth, Love, And Self-control) is a non-profit organization which provides a way for Christians to intentionally connect with non-Christians (or Christians with other Christians) in an informal, Christ-centered mentoring relationship.

At ATLAS we Help Hurting People: Sooner or later, all of us will go through a tough time in life.  ATLAS provides a point of contact for struggling people (or people who want to grow or just want a mentor) to get help and work through the healing process.

ATLAS Equips Believers: We train Christians from the community to be mentors that walk along-side others who are hurting or want to grow.  We also provide on-going support to mentors who have been paired with a client.

ATLAS Unites the Community: People are connected through ATLAS.  We connect someone struggling with someone else who has been through a similar difficulty in life and is now further down the road. Many of these relationships develop into life-long friendships.
