Planting Churches. Serving Communities. Declaring the Gospel.

Our vision: No child shall be denied hope, love, or a fair chance in life. At Domus we find and love young people who are shut out, unwanted, unloved, and afraid; the young people society has failed and discarded; the young people who, without our intervention, would drop out of their schools and their communities and be incarcerated, homeless, or dead. We create the conditions necessary for them to get on a path toward health and opportunity so they can engage and succeed in school and ultimately have satisfying and productive lives.
