Our Vision

To be the guide that equips children to evade human trafficking, guides community leaders toward successful human trafficking eradication, and serves as the last stop on a survivor’s journey to healing.

We Equip Community Leaders to Eradicate Human Trafficking

Human trafficking is modern-day slavery.

Every day, women, children, and men are coerced, exploited, and stripped of their freedom. Trafficking thrives on vulnerability, poverty, racism, abuse, violence, and lack of opportunity. And it’s not just “somewhere else.” It’s here on the Peninsula, across our county, throughout the U.S., and around the world—in industries ranging from the sex trade to domestic work, agriculture, restaurants, retail, and factories.

At Set Free Monterey Bay, we equip community leaders to recognize the signs, prevent exploitation, and walk alongside survivors in their restoration. Because here, trafficking ends and freedom begins.

We Help Survivors Find Freedom

Human trafficking strips survivors of dignity, safety, and trust through lies, coercion, and abuse. Many are left isolated and uncertain of their future.

At Set Free Monterey Bay, we come alongside survivors with compassion and practical support, helping them rebuild their lives, restore hope, and pursue lasting healing through the love and power of Christ.

We Stand Upon Our Faith

At Set Free Monterey Bay, we believe in the power of the gospel to put an end to human bondage and brokenness, in this life and the next. It is our faith in the gospel that guides us, sustains us, and acts as the very foundation of all that we do. We believe that it is for freedom’s sake that Jesus Christ has set us free.
