Its message is based on the Bible, its ministry is motivated by the love of God, and its mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and meet human needs in His name without discrimination. The Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Center provides facilities, programs, and services that encourage, enrich, and strengthen children, adults, and seniors through positive life-changing experiences.
