Truck Driver part time and full time roles

MISSION STATEMENT The Buffalo City Mission exists to restore hope and dignity to the hurting and homeless through the transforming grace and mercy of Jesus Christ.
Why list the Mission Statement First.
.
.
Because we want to fill all of our positions with people seeking to serve and follow Christ, and his example.
It does not mean we are doing it perfectly, and a lot of us need a lot of grace :-) But, when we make choices, when we deal with conflict when we set priorities, we want what Christ would want.
We try hard to figure out and agree on what that means, and how that works.
It is not always easy, sometimes it is messy.
.
.
but when we get it right; it is always beautiful.
