Warsaw District Conference Ministries

The following Conference Ministries are partially funded by Conference apportionments.

Noble House, Inc.

205 E Highland St, Albion, IN 46701

Noble House was conceived as a response to the perpetual need for emergency housing for single mothers and women who have found themselves homeless. To do this, we must first meet the physical needs by providing the basic necessities of life …food, safe shelter, and clothing. Second, we must provide a listening ear, empathy, and grace. Through prayer, Bible study, and example, we strive to show Christ's unconditional love to everyone who walks through our doors.

Pilot House

1126 E Main St, Albion, IN 46701

Pilot House was conceived as a expanded response to the perpetual need for emergency housing. This ministry follows the same program, rules and guidelines as Noble House but it is for men who have found themselves homeless. While it is not ideal, Pilot House gives the opportunity for the whole family to at least be in the same town and off the street. Through prayer, Bible study, and example, we strive to show Christ's unconditional love to everyone who walks through our doors.
