|
Beginnings |
||||||
|
In the first quarter of the 20th century, Nebraska Lutherans in Axtell and Sterling built Bethphage and Martin Luther Homes from the ground up so that people with disabilities would have opportunities to realize their potential. In 2003, these organizations consolidated, forming Mosaic, to continue serving a common mission in the lives of people with disabilities across the United States and throughout the world. |
||||||
| Commitment | ||||||
| Grounded in its mission, Mosaic listens to the choices expressed by you, its clientele. It creates the options and seeks out skilled and diligent employees to support those choices. It works accountably with donors and funding sources to enable individuals to fulfill their dreams. | ||||||
| Opportunities | ||||||
| Mosaic provides supports and advocacy in partnership with people who have disabilities, that all may realize God’s gift of wholeness of life. Mosaic’s staff and supporters believe that every individual is a person of worth. | ||||||
| Disabilities supports | ||||||
| If you or someone you care about has developmental disabilities, then you can find a variety of supports through the ministry of Mosaic: individualized services, living options, work choices and spiritual nurture. | ||||||
| Senior living | ||||||
| Mosaic also offers opportunities to elders seeking independent living with services and supports. If you count yourself or someone you love among this group, we can offer you comfort, security, affordability, accessibility and community. | ||||||
| Advocacy | ||||||
| Mosaic advocates with people who have disabilities so they may choose appropriate supports, defend their rights and express their opinions. Advocates find their voices heard locally in their own communities, in statehouses across the land and in several countries around the world. | ||||||
| Foundation | ||||||
| Like all ministries, the work of Mosaic depends upon prayer and donations. To help you, as a donor, be a good steward of your resources, we offer options for charitable giving and estate planning to support the ministries of Mosaic. | ||||||
| Accreditation | ||||||
| The staff of Mosaic works hard to assure that each person touched by its supports and advocacy receives the services to meet his or her hopes, dreams and expectations. Programs of Mosaic are committed to seeking out, meeting the standards for and maintaining accreditation from independent accrediting bodies. | ||||||
| Affiliation | ||||||
| Mosaic is an affiliated social ministry organization of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, a recognized service organization of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod, and a member of Lutheran Services in America. | ||||||
|
||||||
| Mission | ||||||
