RS has served alongside our neighbors in the urban core of Kansas City, MO, for 30+ years. Desiring to accept the challenge to “love thy neighbor,” we approach each person with dignity and love, seeing them as made in the image of God. Our programs strategically address community needs for affordable food access, safe environments to gather to combat social isolation and build positive community connections, job training and educational support, and increased access to social and mental health services that lead to improved health and self-sufficiency.
To address the root causes and symptoms of poverty and trauma in our City, Reconciliation Services engages with individuals to:
1) Promote dignity by increasing personal well-being
2) Foster healthy community by transforming dividing lines into gathering places
3) Help people advocate for themselves, their families, and their neighbors.
Guiding Principles:
DIGNITY
each person is worthy of love and respect
COMMUNITY
we are interconnected and created to live in relationship with one another
ADVOCACY
is our response to the call to walk with others on their journey
