Mission Statement <\/h3><\/div>

Embracing the Gospel charge of loving our neighbor as ourselves, our mission is \u201cto support families to stay together; empower families to be economically and socially secure through the WORD and compassion of Christ,\u201d <\/strong>in partnership with a network of grassroots groups, irrespective of ethnic\/national origin, faith beliefs, gender, age or race.<\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

WHAT WE DO <\/strong>

We focus on families and their needs. The goal is to \u201cempower families to help them live better.\u201d <\/strong>Our Holistic Ministry Initiatives (HMI) grew out of conversations with our host community. We are aware that life for the individual is lived at two levels: for most, primarily at the physical level, then the spiritual. We believe we can play a role in balancing these two levels, as they are mutually inclusive.

One problem identified was poverty among legal immigrant and minorities families. A closer look revealed some of the causes. We believe that no matter the color or cause of poverty, the WORD of GOD and the love of Christ can help.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Based on what we found, we started KEEPING FAMILIES TOGETHER<\/strong> (KFT) that;
1. Makes sure families remain together at all times;
2. Assist families pursue the American Dream without losing sight of GOD:
3. Support families to become financially and socially secure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

As a congregation we also focus on healthy, supportive and vibrant families staying together to achieve their American Dreams. We believe that families that play, pray, live and work together serve themselves and society better. They make for a socially and economically secure society.

Our family ministry is geared towards working with families, social services and community groups in ensuring that the support families need to stay together is made available, as and when needed. We advocate with agencies to cut red-tapes and make services available to families that need their services. We point families to where they can get the assistance they need before it is an emergency.

We provide families the space to bond through social activities without hurting their dignity. For example, we raise funds for families to attend a picnic that they would not be able to afford on their own, or see a movie but at a very subsidized rate and on a sliding scale, based on their income and what they are able to voluntarily contribute. Then we share experiences that empower them to remain a family.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
