FOR THE CITY
+ BEYOND

The heart of this initiative is to transform cities and empower a generation of community leaders through the alleviation of poverty, the development of clean water sources, the expansion of education, and the establishment of vibrant churches.

This initiative was launched in the fall of 2022 with the following goals:

• Building 10 new clean water systems
• Doubling our education investment from 500 to 1000 kids
• Continuing to address the root causes of generational poverty by expanding our current After School Program to reach 2 schools and increasing to 4 days per week.
• Coming alongside 3 churches that either need to be planted or renewed.

In partnership with Barnes Elementary School, we host a once-a-week after school program for 40+kids. It is our heart and vision to provide a safe space for students, primarily from immigrant and low-income families, where they can participate in enrichment activities, grow in friendships, are encouraged in their education, and know that they are cared for.
