Core ValuesWe honor God through
Authenticity | We show up as our whole selves, redeemed and restored, open and aware of our own brokenness. We do not ask others to share their lives with us if we are not willing to share ours with them. Dignity | We respect the God breathed dignity of every creature. We call forth the Divine gift of dignity and worth by our presence and authentic friendship. Because we are all broken and in need of a Savior there is no “us” and “them” rather, we are Spirit born community. Consistency | We show up. We are regular and ritual with our visits, with our claims, with our promises. We are fully present when we are with our friends and we come through when we say we will. Transparency | We are an open book. Our hearts, our purpose, our beliefs, our finances we are clear about who we are and what we do. Our financial commitments follow our spiritual convictions and missional purpose. |
Biblical Rationale
|
There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear; for fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not reached perfection in love. We love because he first loved us. I John 4. 18-19

Statement on Diversity
|
In order to accomplish our mission of empowering trafficked and exploited women to chart a new direction and find life outside of the commercial sex trade, we believe that it is necessary and right to engage stakeholders across diverse backgrounds, regardless of race, nationality, culture, gender, or ethnicity. In providing services related to support and care of those who have been trafficked, Stripped Love does not discriminate against any race, ethnicity, culture, nationality, religion, gender or sexual identity, or against persons with a disability . We have a missional and organizational culture that values diversity and fosters mutual respect at all levels. Our commitment to inclusiveness is evident in the makeup of our Board of Directors, staff, volunteers, and those we serve.
