The Home Place is a spiritual sanctuary deeply rooted in African traditions and guided by biblical principles. It is a vital response to the pressing need for unity within the African American community and beyond, as this ministry seeks to transcend the barriers of ethnicity, class, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, and belief systems. It is committed to cultivating an inclusive and affirming space where healing, spiritual growth, and community empowerment flourish.

Recognizing the importance of broad inclusivity, The Home Place warmly welcomes people of all ethnicities, though its reach extends primarily to the diverse spectrum of the Black/African American community. A core tenet of the ministry is to intentionally engage those who may hold uncertainties or hesitations regarding LGBTQIAN2S+ inclusion, HIV/AIDS advocacy, differently abled individuals, those who identify with mental challenges, and all of those who would be seen as marginalized. By fostering an atmosphere of open dialogue and respectful engagement, from its inception The Home Place aims to cultivate understanding, acceptance, and affirmation within its community.

The primary goal of The Home Place is to establish itself as a S.A.F.E. (Supportive, Affirming, Free from harm, Empowering)™, and validating environment that nurtures spiritual growth, facilitates personal transformation, and fosters community unification. To achieve this the ministry is guided by several key objectives: to create an affirming and inclusive space that welcomes ALL, with a particular focus on those who identify as Black/African American; to facilitate healing and address trauma through dedicated programs and support initiatives; to foster meaningful dialogue and understanding across diverse perspectives, thereby promoting unity within the Black/African American community and beyond; and to empower individuals to deepen their relationship with God (the God of their understanding) and to live lives filled with purpose.
