Peaceful Living - Creating Belonging for Persons with Disabilities Within a Faith Community

Peaceful Living is a faith-based non-profit company that provides services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We believe that every individual has the right to belong in their community and we try our hardest to help them achieve that all-important sense of community and participation.

Our trained staff helps the individuals we serve by working with them on life skills, giving them a safe caring environment to live in, helping them kick back and relax, enabling them to get out in the community and creating a valued and sincere friendship that can otherwise be difficult to create.

Peaceful Living is blessed to be able to provide many different services to our clients, each with unique ways to care for them. We provide the following services:

• Residential Placements with round-the-clock care.
• In-Home Respite and Habilitation.
• Our unique community center, Creative Gifts.
• The Friendship Connection, to build relationships.
• Congregational and Community Education.

Peaceful Living’s mission is to create belonging for persons with disabilities within a faith-based community, and the driving force behind that mission is our belonging model. We believe that true belonging is composed of 4 important parts. The first part is companionship in the form of a sincere relationship built upon mutual trust and admiration. Membership in a welcoming community gives individuals an opportunity to thrive. A sincere appreciation for the enthusiasms individuals we serve offer to their community help them feel that they’re contributing in their own special way. And finally Peaceful Living believes in caring for the whole individual by helping them live a life balanced in body, mind and spirit.

Peaceful Living is extremely proud to present its next mini-conference Sowing Hope: Hearing, Respecting, and Supporting Our Veterans.  There truly isn’t enough that we can do for our veterans to thank them for their service to the country and for the sacrifices they and their families make, but we can make sure we’re better equipped to show veterans all of the respect and support we possibly can.  It is Peaceful Living’s hope that this mini-conference will help equip us to better understand the needs of veterans and respond with compassion, understanding, and an even more profound level of respect.
