The organization says it “was started back in 2009 as a 501c3 non-profit organization,” began operating out of the “Wallowa County Family Youth Center” in January 2010 after remodeling it, and that in June 2011 that center’s board “gifted the building, property and assets to POC.” It began with seven board members and five or more volunteers, offering a game room, gathering area, workout equipment, toddler room and projection room, and says that over time community use declined. Its mission is “to teach the Body how to exude the love of Christ,” with a stated emphasis on discipleship for families and especially men. It describes a planned Transformational Housing program for four to fifteen men coming out of or facing incarceration, paired with Crazy Love Coffee, which roasts beans sourced mainly from the Philippines to fund the housing and provide work.
The housing program is described in the future tense and the site’s last dated post is from March 2018, so whether these programs operate today is unverified. No leader is named with a title on the site. The state registration date of June 2009 is consistent with the stated start but remains a filing date.

The Wallowa County Family Youth Center board gifted its building and assets to the organization in June, by its account.
