Sabbath House was founded by our friend, Douglas Jones. We’ve investigated and pursued a number of different ministries in our community and abroad. The three parts to our current vision are the result of much counsel and research. Particularly we have sought the counsel of our pastor, Douglas Wilson, and our board, comprised of Chairman Matt Meyer, Secretary Bill Church, Treasurer Rick Littlejohn, John Carnahan, Joshua Appel, and Ralph Plaza.

Vision

Provide substantial and sustainable ministries for the orphans, strangers, and the deeply needy on the Palouse.

Mission

Enable Christ Church and Trinity Reformed Church to develop ministries serving the unborn and their mothers and local international populations and to support ecumenical ministry to those in drastic need in Moscow and Pullman

Core Values

• We ascribe to the documents governing Christ Church.
• We answer to the CC Elder Board through the CC Diaconate.
• We serve CC and TRC, and our board reflects this conviction.
• We serve as an arm of the church to bring people into the church.
• We desire ecumenical unity without sacrificing our evangelical distinctive.

Principles

• Don’t duplicate the state’s efforts unless morally necessary or highly strategic.
• Don’t duplicate other evangelical ministries unless necessary.
• Research and network with existing models.
• Be slow to tie funds to a fixed or depreciating asset.
• Invest in lay leadership.
