The association was formed from an initiative of the Free Church Uster and is guided by its diaconal mission. The association generally aims to provide Christian diaconal services. It provides practical support, either free of charge or for a fee, through volunteers or employees to help people of all ages cope with the diverse challenges of everyday life. In doing so, it exclusively pursues non-profit purposes. The association also promotes the social and professional integration of people in need. To achieve its purpose, the association is authorized to operate suitable businesses, conclude employment contracts, and acquire, mortgage, and sell properties.
