What Staff Say...

“I think I love almost everything about Water Street. I always say I love the mission at the mission. I love doing it here at Water Street, for personal reasons also because the Water Street Mission saved me, personally. I came through here, and I experienced the restoration, being restored here at Water Street. So that I get to do the same thing, is my favorite thing about Water Street.”

“I love the fact that there is a group of people here that are so committed to each other. I just love the team spirit at Water Street, the fact that we are working together, working collectively, to make a difference.”

“What I enjoy most about my job is the ability to work with God likeminded individuals. They are so amazing. They are encouraging, they are uplifting. In a moment of need I can call my team and say ‘hey I’m struggling, and be transparent to cry, and they cry with, to pray and they pray with me. And so they’re the ones that each and every day, when things are perfect, it doesn’t have to be.”

“I think one of the things that stands out the most about what Water Street does is they really supply all the needs, true needs, that our guests really have. From shelter, clothing, miscellaneous, toiletry items, they have a great way of loving our guests, and supplying their needs.”

"Water Street is a gift from God to the community. And I would say that we respond accordingly to the call that God has provided for Water Street to be here for over a hundred years now, we can serve them in many ways, in all the needs they have, and I think we are pretty much well known, and we are the best.”

"I think that someone who wants to come work at Water Street has to be prepared for growth. You have to be prepared to wake up each day knowing that you’re going to do a hard thing, but you’re going to love it. And you’re going to really impact people’s lives in a positive way immediately and every day. Somedays you’re going to see things that challenge you when you go home, but at the end of the day you’re going to wake up, and you’re going to serve next to people who are truly passionate about ministry and who really love the lord.”
