Mission: We are a nonprofit faith-based health and human services agency designed to provide for the health, mental health and community service needs of the mid-michigan community. Lily missions center offers provisions for church-based health promotion, community education, direct services for youth and client advocacy.

Programs: Teen transition program: the teen transition program's focus and objective is to mentor and educate teens by encouraging healthy behaviors through structured activities. The teen transition programs include presentations on applying for scholarship funding for college, assistance with college enrollment and financial aid applications, and after school homework help and computer lab access.

summer reading program: the summer reading program is run to ensure that children ages 5-12 are intellectually stimulated throughout the months when traditional school is not in session. Students attending this program are not only encouraged to read, but receive one-on-one direction that is specifically catered to each individuals need. The certified program consultants and instructors administer pre-tests to all students enrolling in the program in order to effectively create individualized six week lesson plans.

Children that were between the ages of 5 and 14 focused on homework completion and tutoring in reading, english and math.
