Our Purpose
Our Purpose is to be an all-volunteer organization to bring together physically- and/or mentally challenged men and women with able-bodied individuals in a Christian community.

Our Mission
Our Mission is to create welcoming spaces and regular gatherings throughout the year to unite, inspire, and strengthen our community.

Our Signature Event
Our main event of the year is the HEC Long Island weekend retreat, typically held each spring. This religious retreat provides a supportive environment where participants minister to one another’s needs, celebrate humanity, and learn from one another. These weekends form the foundation of the HEC Long Island family and dynamically fuel the supportive network maintained throughout the year.
