Agency Details:

Mission: Helping people Attain Truth, Love And Self-control.

Vision: Every believer equipped and engaged in spiritually parenting another. The fulfillment of the Great Commission.

Description:
We exist as an organization to connect those who are struggling through life circumstances with a Christ-centered friend who can help them attain truth, love and self-control. Our goal is that those who are hurting would find their place in the Body of Christ and disciple others who struggle as they once did.

History:
ATLAS originated in Sioux Center, IA in 2001 and was initiated in the Sioux Falls area in 2005 by a group of concerned Christians. This group had served their respective churches in the role of deacons and were passionate about developing a supplemental ministry that would serve the churches in their efforts to help those struggling with life issues within, as well as reach out to those who are not a part of a church. This group developed into the governing board of ATLAS in Sioux Falls and have been instrumental in ATLAS' emergence as a integral part of the community.
