About
A Safe Space to Start Again
At Christian Shelter, we firmly believe that everyone deserves a safe place to rest and the opportunity to rebuild their lives. Located in the humble community of Salisbury, MD, we offer a refuge for individuals and families experiencing homelessness and crisis.
Since opening our doors in December 1980, we have had the privilege of sheltering and ministering to over 28,400 individuals and serving more than half a million meals.
We invite you to join us in this mission of love and service as we work together to uplift those navigating challenging circumstances.
Making Christ the Center of Our Work
Each day, we strive to embody the love of Christ by offering support that transcends mere survival, fostering hope and healing in every person who walks through our doors. Our commitment is deeply rooted in the belief that faith must be expressed through action, which is beautifully explained in I John 3:15:
“If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue, but with actions and in truth.”
This scripture inspires our daily work and motivates us to serve with compassion and integrity. Our team is dedicated to creating an environment where individuals can be safe and experience a sense of belonging.
