TRANSFORMATION

Transformation 2.png

The Holy Spirit guides convergence among like-minded people of faith and good will, to come together to solve problems and restore brokenness in our city.

We bring key community stakeholders together, to partner with purpose; resourcing the implementation and execution of strategy.

Peace. Faith. Community. Equity. Justice. Education. Prosperity. Employment Opportunity. Affordable Housing. Emergency Services.
