GLORY VILLAGE
Our mission is to provide a community of abundant life for men and women with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

OUR PURPOSE
Glory Village exists to allow its workers to fulfil the Gospel call to serve the least of our neighbors by providing high quality fellowship activities and meaningful work opportunities that allow those with disabilities to live life to the full in Christian community.
Access to quality housing and a place for regular worship and community activities are integral parts of our ministry.
We aim to end loneliness and isolation as we thrive together in Jesus’ name.
We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit charity based in Joplin, Missouri, and an affiliate of Christ's Community Joplin.
