As an overview:

Joshua Station is a faith-based community helping families make the transition from homelessness to a healthy, stable living environment. Since 2001 Joshua Station has provided long-term transformational housing and support for high-risk families with multiple barriers to self-sufficiency.

Joshua Station's comprehensive program focuses on empowerment for the entire family, making this program one of the most successful in the metro Denver area. A full complement of resources and support include:

 

Life Skills classes and education which builds awareness and skills to increase self-sufficiency

 

Comprehensive support for residents' holistic health and well-being through a Family Advocacy program that includes physical, mental, and spiritual elements

 

Individual, couple, and family Counseling for both adults and children

 

Comprehensive Youth Program that focuses on education, mentoring, and recreational activities

 

Community Service opportunities at Joshua Station encourage a sense of shared community and care for the communal property where everyone lives and works

 

Follow-up Advocacy after graduation which helps our families make the transition from Joshua Station to the larger Denver community by providing a continuous support system for them

Happy Fall Y'all!!!

 

 

 

 

It's that time of year again.. the leaves are changing, the air is turning cooler, and the smell of pumpkin spice and everything nice is ever present! Wow, it's a wonderful time of year!

 

Shall we catch you up on what's been happening in our world?

The summer was filled with fun events at our Parkway community. To name a few, monthly Breakfast on the Go, Taco Night, Summer Luau Pool Party, Wild Wild West Pool Party, Movie Under the Stars Pool Party, Doggie Day at the Pool, and the list goes on of exciting ways we have had the opportunity to connect with our residents in our downtown community. Last weekend, we had a delicious Pancake Breakfast and now we are gearing up for our holiday events such as a Thanksgiving Dinner the week before Thanksgiving and our Holiday Come & Go Party in December. Oh how we love hosting events at the Parkway with Cares by Apartment Life.

 

We are excited to say our church family has a new home! Denver United has been meeting on the Denver University campus for four years now doing church mobile with amazing volunteers who would set up and tear down "the church" every week. We are now blessed with a new building on 660 S. Broadway Denver, CO! You want to know the part we love so much? It's in DOWNTOWN!

Having our church downtown is so awesome because we can easily invite our community and those we meet in the city to be a part of our church family.

And last but definitely not least... WE HAD A BABY!

 

The day we dreamed of for so long... holding our precious baby in our arms for the first time became a reality on August 7th, 2013. Willow Jewel Martin, our daughter, is such a blessing. Words can not describe the love we have for her. We are honored and privileged to call Willow Jewel ours.

As we continue to serve our city, now with our new little member of Martin Missions, would you pray for us? Willow has joined us in all our events we have hosted so far and as we have prayed she seems to be a lover of people. She loves to watch everyone, smile, and make eye contact with all people she encounters that is until she goes back to sleep... she is really good at that as well!
