Missions

In 2004, Beauty for Ashes Transitional Home opened its doors to women (with and without children) in crisis, in Alexandria, Indiana. In January 2018, Beauty for Ashes merged with Muncie Mission and continues their mission, in Alexandria, as a service provided by Muncie Mission.

Muncie Mission works to provide a safe space for women who are working to overcome homelessness and give them the support they need to change their lives. They offer stability, hope and restoration to women and their children, through a Christ-centered structure which focuses on personal and spiritual growth. This 6-18 month program embraces women who desire to change their lives and empowers them to work toward a positive future.

Church Street Commons started in 2000 with the vision of bringing the Body of Christ together in Alexandria, Indiana. In 2001, a Tutor-mentor program was developed in order to help meet the educational and relational needs of area children. Continuing today, adult and high-school volunteers spend one hour weekly in the local intermediate school. Many long-lasting friendships have been forged and students have benefited both academically as well as emotionally. They have also started a group called "Spirit of Recovery" to help those who are battling addictions.

The purpose of FSI is to train, disciple, and promote the Christian way of life through athletics and other effective evangelism and discipleship across the USA and worldwide. The main emphasis of this ministry is to send athletic teams to countries who, through the help of local missionaries and churches, have been invited to participate in athletic events and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the local people. In recent years they have broadened their mission to connect to a variety of church groups and/or college groups for missions and discipleship trips. Jesus challenged His disciples to “go into all the world”. FSI desires to help disciples of Jesus be obedient to that calling.
