Mission Statement
Wayside Cross Ministries exists to transform the lives of men, women, and children in crisis by sharing the hope of Jesus Christ, providing essential care, and equipping each person with the tools for lifelong restoration and community impact.
Description
Wayside Cross Ministries is a Christ-centered nonprofit organization based in Aurora, Illinois, dedicated to transforming the lives of those facing homelessness, addiction, poverty, and despair. Since 1928, we have served as a place of refuge and renewal, offering comprehensive recovery programs, transitional housing, life-skills training, and spiritual guidance.
Through six distinct ministries - Master’s Touch (for men), Lifespring (for women and children), Urban Youth Ministry, Hope Outreach, New Life Corrections, and Elgin Wayside Center - we walk alongside individuals and families on their journey toward restoration, self-sufficiency, and a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.
At Wayside, we believe lasting change is possible when physical, emotional, and spiritual needs are met with compassion, accountability, and hope.
