Transitional Programs for Women sponsors and initiates programs which, in faithfulness to the mission of Jesus, foster the personal growth and wholeness of women and children in need.

Transitional Programs for Women pursues this mission through the operation of EduCare, Miryam’s House, the Women’s Hearth, and Transitional Living Center.


Our key values are:

  • Respect for human dignity.  We believe in the dignity and inherent worth of individuals and respect their right to self determination.

  • Community.  We believe that the fullness of each person is realized in relationship with others.

  • Growth/Wholeness.  We believe each individual is a work in progress on a journey toward integration of mind, body, and spirit with the hope of emotional, physical, and spiritual peace.

  • Justice.  We believe in advocating for what is right, honest and moral both for whom we serve and with whom we serve.
