About Us

Path of Life Ministries (POLM) is a faith-based community non-profit organization 501(c)3 that was established in 1998 with the intent to build a strong community which meets social and economical needs. Prior to 1998, Path of Life Ministries’ Executive Director Raul Diaz was operating similar outreach programs globally. Pastor Diaz began his work in 1985 where he piloted programs in the Netherlands for men and women who had major barriers of dysfunction (i.e., homelessness, substance abuse, prostitution and other dysfunctional behavior).  He brought his approach to healing and restoration to Riverside and in early 2000 began a Christian-based congregate living environment where men could reclaim their lives. His years of experience in operating highly structured, results oriented programs were met with enthusiastic responses from local officials in recent years. In 2003, the County of Riverside asked POLM to run their Emergency Cold Weather Shelter. POLM was asked again in 2004 to operate the shelter and because of its success, the City of Riverside signed a ten-year contract in 2005 with Path of Life Ministries to open and operate the city’s first Year-Round Homeless Shelter and Access Center.

Mission

Path of Life Ministries’ mission is to help people become productive in life by addressing barriers of dysfunction through the process of rescuing, restoring, and rebuilding lives. POLM’s experience with the following projects in Riverside County is listed below under "Resources."
