Wheat Ridge is all about charitable work and has its roots in the Lutheran Church.  Wheat Ridge's main focus is health and human care ministries such as generational ministries and care for church leaders.  Church leaders are put under great pressure working in church ministry, and Wheat Ridge provides resources to help cope with stress.  The timeline of Wheat Ridge history shows how the program has grown in resources and services from its modest beginnings.
