Purpose Statement: The purpose for the development and existence of the Oak Street House is to provide a Christian presence and resource location in the Old Town area of Kingman.
The following aspects constitute reasons for its existence:
Ministry Aspect - It is our desire that Christian Ministry will be provided at the site through many means. These means include resources, music, meeting locations, fellowship opportunities as well as one on one encounters with the staff.
Community Aspect - The Kingman downtown area is in need of local businesses and organizations to keep it vibrant. It is our desire to develop the 100 year old home into a pleasing site for others to enjoy visually and personally.
Local Emphasis Aspect - We desire to feature local pastors, artists, music and resource needs.
Timing Aspect - The opportunity to establish the Oak Street Haven exists at this time as Michael and Cherise have a window of opportunity and the desire to do so. There currently exists no other location in Kingman similar in scope.
Lacaze Family Aspect - It will be a project to involve our family in working towards a common goal and using the skills, talents, and desire God haS given us. It will challenge certain family members to learn how to organize and run a small business.
Christian Friends' Aspect - There is a support of Christian friends who desire to be involved in different ways in the development and participation of The Haven.
