Our Mission
Prelude Ministries, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization formed to provide Christ-centered spiritual care services to seniors living with Dementia, and other ailments, which often result in complete isolation from their traditional community of believers due to the increased level of need for personal care. We offer the hope of Christ, the peace of Christ, and the reminder of the ultimate promise of Christ which is the complete healing and restoration found in eternity for those who have received Him in faith. Our all-inclusive approach goes beyond the residents, including also their families, the caregivers, and staff of every memory care and assisted living facility we serve.
Our mission is a demonstrative of Isaiah 61:1-3 which says:
“The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to preach the good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and to provide for those who grieve in Zion – to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.”
We take the calling of Serving Seniors, Supporting Caregivers, and Sharing Christ very seriously as our spiritual care team consists of credentialed Pastors with a heart to serve. Our goal is have one Pastor for every 30 residents, their families, and respective staff. The low Pastor-to-resident ratio ensures deliberate and meaningful individual connections as well as time for impactful ministry activities.
The name "Prelude" was chosen for our ministry because we believe that part of our calling is to introduce the gospel in all circumstances while serving to prepare those under our spiritual care for eternal life with Christ in heaven. The trumpet in our logo represents the biblical call for all people to come together as a community to strengthen one another and love one another in a way that glorifies God.
