About Us

Our Mission

Our goal is to provide constant and compassionate outreach to individuals with disabilities. Through this ministry we strive to meet each individuals physical, social & spiritual needs. All the while being the hands and feet of Jesus to those we serve.

Our History

  

In 1967 After hearing the testimony of Alfred Bonsignore on a christian radio station, Bob Grant reached out to him. Both men where physically impaired and shared a passion for those who are affected by disabilities. Together they formed an organization to meet the physical, spiritual and social needs of people with disabilities and called it “Overcomers”. The inspiration for the name came from the Bible Verse: 1 John 5:4
“…for everyone born of God overcomes the world.”


In 1977 “Overcomers” was incorporated under New Jersey laws (and approved under IRS regulations) as a non-profit [501 (c) (3)] organization called “The Christian Overcomers, Inc.”  Each Board member knew Jesus Christ as their personal Savior, and had a genuine concern and commitment for people with disabilities.  

That is still the case today.
