Inner Beauty Center started on the corner of 15th and Lincoln in a church known then as Blessed Hope. The founder’s husband was the pastor and those who attended were affected by addiction, abuse, and poverty.
In 2011 a woman came into the church and stated:
“God told me if I came in here
you would help me!”
We responded by helping her but also learned there was so much we needed to do. God had put a "mission field" on our front steps. In 2012 a group of passionate women gathered and founded Inner Beauty Center. September of 2012 we opened the doors by offering a Self Defense Class followed by a weekly drop in on Tuesday evening and Street Outreach on Friday night offer resources and an invite to the drop in.
