IMMEDIATE NEEDS

Phase One — Site Preparation & Reconstruction

Before we can restore lives, we must rebuild the walls.

Heritage Wellness Institute is in the beginning stage of transforming the Church of Life campus into a center of faith, wellness, and community restoration.
Right now, the buildings and grounds are in disrepair. Our task is demolition, cleanup, and rebuilding so that future ministry programs can have a strong foundation.

Every pair of hands, every donated tool, and every dollar given helps prepare the ground for the work ahead.

“Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it.” — Psalm 127:1 (KJV)

LOOKING AHEAD

When the foundation work is complete and the campus is safe and operational, Phase Two will begin: furnishing, equipping, and opening the doors for families, veterans, and community members in need.
For now, we build—together.
