For over 96 years, Wayside Cross Ministries has provided shelter and recovery for men, women & children through meals, Bible-based education, spiritual counseling, work training and the transformational love of Christ.

Our short and long term recovery programs offer the necessary time for individuals to rebuild their lives, earn their GED, find work and lead a life of independence.

Together, our six ministries assisted the homeless, addicted and abused and provide a pathway for ex-offenders to lead productive lives.

We also offer after-school programs and educational assistance for under resourced families in Aurora through our Urban Youth Ministry.
