- Representing and advocating for the interests of Missouri’s faith-based social service providers
- Educating policymakers and others about the value of faith-based social services
- Serving as a resource to the faith-based organizations throughout the state that provide social services
- Building a network of faith-based social service providers
- Providing community education
- Providing training to faith organizations
Alliance membership is open to organizations of various faiths and denominations providing services in the areas of substance abuse, child protection, mental health, domestic violence, chronic disease prevention and care, prisoner re-entry, prison ministry, housing, minority disparities reduction, spiritual malaise, veterans’ needs, older adult issues, children’s issues, and more.
