Ministerial Association Temporary Shelter (M.A.T.S.) is a compassionate ministry which reflects the strengths of our communities, provides today's needs and works to heal and to secure the future of those who are temporarily displaced.

The 2400 sq. foot annex and the main shelter have experienced an 88% capacity rated for the past three years, sheltering an average of 28 persons per night.
