Our Mission
We are C.A.L.M. Organization, Inc., a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. CALM offers transitional housing and life skills training to mothers and their children in crisis situations.
Where it all started
In 2013, our founders Grace Nuffer and Terri Steadman were serving single moms in a local church life group. They quickly realized the need for a program to assist moms from poverty to self sustainment. Our 501(c)3 was established in 2016 and we continued to serve from our own homes.
In 2017, we were blessed with our current property from a donor. We hope to continue to develop our program by providing more transitional housing for moms and children in crisis through CALM Village.
We've grown leaps and bounds. We have helped many families (36 moms and 49 kids), all thanks to the helping hands like yours of this amazing community!
CALM Believes
Statement of Faith
CALM Organization Inc. stands ready to serve moms and children in crisis by showing the love of God in action. We will accomplish this by being the “hands and feet of Jesus” to those he has entrusted in our care. We will “love them like Jesus does”.
1. We believe there is only one God eternally existing in the trinity of three, God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ) and God the Spirit (Holy Spirit). (Matthew 28:19)
2.We believe the Bible is divinely inspired, written for revelation to man and is to be used as our guide for our daily living. It is without error or omission and is the infallible word of God. (II Timothy 3:16)
3.We believe Jesus was born a virgin birth, lived a sinless life, performed miracles, died on the cross for our sins, rose (from the dead) to life and sits at the right hand of God. He is the world’s only savior and is the sovereign God of all. (John 14:6)
4.We believe in the personality of the Holy Spirit and the power he brings to perform new birth and life in the unbeliever and thereby indwells believers enabling them to live a Godly life with Jesus Christ. (Romans 8:14)
5.We believe Salvation is achieved by faith in Christ Jesus by having a personal relationship with him. His death, burial and resurrection and God’s living presence today are for all to receive. (Ephesians 2: 8-10)
Pray
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." -Philippians 4:6
We believe in the power of prayer.
Please pray with us for:
- peace for the moms and children currently with us
- the continual spread of the gospel through our ministry
- strength and stamina for the volunteers involved
- opportunities for all of the families who are still in need
- continued clarity for CALM to see the best ways to serve our community
