Our Mission
Be Teleios supports vulnerable young adults as they transition from childhood in institutional care into independent adults who fulfill their God-given potential.
Vision
Our Logo symbolizes many roads leading to and from Jesus Christ. We will walk with young adults who spent their childhood in institutions or abusive families to have the same robust network of support as those who grew up within healthy families. We envision a ministry that protects and empowers the most vulnerable, ensuring they discover who God "sent them to be."
Our Name
Teleios: the Greek word (τέλειος) is used over 500 times in Sacred Scripture. Etymologically, we have the words “telephone”, “telegraph”, “television” derived from “teleios”. The Greek word means to send a signal that complete its purpose, the meaning it was sent.
Jesus’ commandment is often translated, “Be perfect” (Mt 5.48) gives an inaccurate connotation for Teleios implying “flawless”. Jesus is not commanding us to be flawless; but rather to be the person God created us to be – fulfilling our purpose and meaning in life, the reason God created us.
Our mission is driven by a dedicated team of professionals and volunteers led by Fr. Dennis, all committed to the spiritual and practical growth of the young adults we serve.
