Prayer
Please join us as a partner in prayer, lifting up the needs of our
ministry: for the children, youth, and adults who we serve, for
on-going and new funding sources, and for volunteers uniquely suited to
implement our mission.
Volunteering
We have a wide variety of volunteer roles available for people local to
our area, including tutoring, mentoring, leading Bible Clubs, teaching
classes, prayer walking, and supervising community access hours in the
center.

We have short-term summer service
opportunities and are looking for additional ministry partners to move
into our neighborhood with us. |
